Network Connection dropping/reconnecting. "DNS Lookup Failed"
Hi, I've been having wireless network issues ever since we purchased a new router (Netgear n300) probably about one year ago. My laptop has no issues with other wifi connections, but when I am connected at home, the connection continually drops and reconnects. It usually disconnects for 10-15 seconds, and then reconnects. This happens constantly while I am at the house.
When I troubleshoot the connection, the message "Default Gateway not available" often pops up. When the connection drops while a webpage is loading, the browser tells me that "The DNS lookup failed". Also, our home network connection is named "Home-FORCE", but on my laptop the name shows up as "Home-FORCE 2".
Has anybody seen or had this issue before? I am wondering if the problem is with the settings on my laptop, or if I made an error while setting up the wireless router.
There are several other laptops in my house that connect just fine, and my smartphone has no issues with this connection. However, when my laptop is connected to wifi, other laptops in the house begin having the same issues.
Any help is much appreciated, and I will gladly provide any additional information that I can.
