Intermittent Internet. New Build. Unable to Resolve DNS/sending reques
Dear Forum Members,
I have come to seek your wisdom in an attempt to hold onto some of my sanity.
I have recently built a new gaming rig, and the internet was working fine, downloading at a healthy speed through steam (download client).
One morning the internet stopped working, and has now been working intermittently ever since. I have attempted to change the DNS, reset my router, re-installed windows 7, released and renewed the IP. I have tried to use different DNS servers also (as seen below). Drivers are also up to date etc.
I am using a wifi usb dongle. Some of the errors I have received from troubleshooting or the browser are 'default gateway not available' and 'unable to resolve DNS address' hanging on 'sending request' in browser. I also received a notification that another computer was using an identical IP.
Any help you can provide, would certainly be a blessing. As my computer is useless at the moment.
Thank you all in advance!
