"Default Gateway is not available" followed by BSOD

Apparently this problem continues when I have a wired connection as well, don't know why I haven't tried this.

When I had the limited access error, I connected directly to my router with an ethernet cable and the network and sharing center just said "Identifying..." and nothing would work.

Everything went well once I restarted my computer (of course, the wireless will then work once I restart my computer as well)

Update: After restarting my computer, I have had the issue again almost immediately, but upon manually disconnecting from my home network, I was instantly connected to it via a wired connection. I have tried alternating between a wired and wireless connection, but it appears that everything is fine when I am connected with an Ethernet cable.

Additionally, as I have said, I already unchecked that box to ensure the device would not be turned off to save power.

What I also found interesting is that after clicking on the configure button in the adapter's properties, the power management tab doesn't exist when I am having the connectivity issue. However, when connected, it is there.

Both. This occurs whether I'm running off the power adapter or the battery, and also regardless of how much battery power there is.

It is set to maximum performance both for when I am running on battery power and when I am plugged in.

Any other suggestions?

Btw, I contacted HP, they recommended another set of drivers, and to manually disconnect my wireless adapter card and reconnect it by hand. Next, I did a system restore back to factory settings, and the problem persists.

Does this indicate a hardware issue and the necessity of the wireless card being replaced?

So with all issues, if a complete system restore doesn't fix a problem, then it must be hardware related?

Am I understanding this correctly?
