So I'm. At a loss. Everything seemed fine this morning online no problems. Then it kicked me off. All other connections are fine, except my pc.
I've got through lists of things I've googled, resetting modem, reinstalling drivers, dumping ip, renewing.

I'm really not sure what to try


In case u need it

I believe there was only one on the motherboard.
I believe it was firmware updates.
My next attempt will be to update my motherboard drivers? Which were just installed when I built it a month ago.

try from the site and try getting the drivers also from the makers of the nic.
device manager > right click device in question > properties > details tab > under property select hardware id > copy paste info in bottom box and go to manufactures website.

It sometimes helps but very rarely in any event worth a shot.

I would also hard reset the router/modem and clear all settings, can also assign each mac addy with an ip so your not conflicting.

I mean the modem/router combo or just the router should have a button on the back for a hard reset.

Can you ping other machines on the LAN?
Have you tried a static IP adresse so you can rule out DHCP problems?

I was intending on setting up my old pc to see if I can connect on it. Though anything on wifi is fine.
I'll have to google how to do a static ip and try tomorrow
