Hello, I've been having trouble with my internet. Figured I'd hop on a forum and see if someone can help me figure it out.
I was in the middle of an overwatch game, and my internet cut out on me randomly. I have only been connected with ethernet.
Running Windows Diagnostics, I get the errors "Ethernet" doesn't have a valid IP configuration and The default gateway is not available.
Steps I've taken:
1. Reset modem and computer. Computer will connect once modem finishes self-tests, but only for about 30 seconds.
2. Ipconfig /release and /renew. Command Prompt will freeze after using /renew. Does nothing to fix it.
3. Uninstalled all antiviruses. Read somewhere that MacAfee sometimes caused it. Although I only used AVG and Avast.
4. Reset windows. Didnt work, but it gave me a hella headache trying to redo all my files.
5. Reset modem to factory settings. Had to resetup my Network. All devices except my computer will connect.
6. Read multiple forums but havent been able to find a solution. Decided to post, hoping someone can help.
Recap: Computer drops default gateway after modem restarts. Can't renew ip addresses. No internet.
Thank you for any advice you can offer.
