Computer keeps loosing internet connection but other devices do not.
About once a week or more my computer looses its internet connection. I know this because I get the ! in the yellow triangle or the red x over the monitor icon in the task bar. I will also not be able to reach any web site. The strange part is that other devices within the house do not loose their internet connection. Items such as cell phones, tablets, Alexa, and my TV do not loose their connection. They gain access to the internet via wireless router which is part of the same computer system. These items connect perfect.
Here is information I believe to be important.
Internet via Spectrum cable. Motorola modem, Surfboard, SB6141. tp-link wireless router.
Windows 7 Professional w/service pack 1
Intel core i3-4170 cpu@3.70GH. 16 GB Ram - 15.9 GB usable. System Type 64-bit
Every time the computer looses the internet connection I unplug the modem and restart the computer and plug in the modem again. When the modem and computer start back up ever thing is fine till the next time the computer looses connection. I have tried different cords between computer, wireless router, and modem and that does not help. I have tried different ports on the back of the wireless router and that did not help. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John
