Always have to disable then enable network adapter to get back online?
My netbook is running Windows 7 Starter. It is an MSi U135
At random intervals (can be every few minutes to every couple of hours) my connection will show a 'limited connection' and I have to manually disable then enable the network adapter. As soon as I have re-enabled it again the internet will connect. Sometimes it will force me to restart the netbook for it to connect again.
I have been searching for fixes for a few days now and have tried the following:
Disabled firewall.
Uninstalled antivirus.
Reinstalled the network adapter.
Completely removed the adapter driver from the system, then downloading one from the Msi website and installing the new driver.
Changed the router channels to a few different channels.
Made sure the box which says something like 'allow this device to turn off to save power' is unchecked.
I have tried the ipconfig /renew in CMD as an admin.
Also tried the ROUTE 0.0.0.0 command (read somewhere this could fix it)
I ensured I didn't have 'bonjour' on the system as I have read this can cause it too.
I even tried reinstalling the OS too.
None of the other netbooks in the house does this. (One running Windows 7 Starter and one on XP)
Any ideas?
All help is appreciated. Thank you.
