    When you browse to 10.0.0.1 - does anything pop-up for id/password?

    Yeah, I can log in and everything, but I'm not seeing anything to change at first glance.

    There's got to be settings somewhere, I can't see - the screenshot is too small.

    What settings specifically would I need to change? I'm not that familiar with networking but I can navigate the router pretty easily due to all the trial and error I've gone through.

    At the DHCP you should change the following (mind you , the wording may be a bit different):

    IP pool Starting Address: 192.168.1.100
    Netmask (if applicable): 255.255.255.0
    Size of Pool: 50
    DNS1: 75.75.76.76
    DNS2: 75.75.75.75

    You may also want to disable DHCP for IPv6, just to be on the safe side.

    And make sure that all your computers' network adapters are set to automatically get IP addresses.

    Here are all the settings I can change:



    Above is under Local IP Network. When I go to XFINITY Network there are no settings that I can change. When I go to WiFi I can change key and security info.

    OK,

    set the Default Gateway address to 192.168.1.1
    leave subnet mask as is
    DHCP beginning address at 192.168.1.100
    DHCP ending address at 192.168.1.150

    we are going to leave IPv6 as it is, but on your computer's wireless adapter settings - uncheck IPv6.

    After this is done - unplug your wireless USB adapter and then plug it back in.

    Okay, I will do this. I'm at work all day so I won't respond for another 8 hours or so. Thanks in advance for all your help!

    I think this worked! I have no idea why or how my WiFi stopped working out of nowhere, but so far I've run several Speedtests and my download speed is always around 25 - 30mbps! (I just noticed that I was simultaneously downloading Windows updates after the fresh install) I will update if this changes but so far so good. Thanks a bunch!

    Awesome, fingers crossed it stays this way

    If not - come back and we'll pick up from where we left :)
