Need help with Default Gateway issues
On an almost daily basis I will lose my internet connection on my desktop computer and when I go through the trouble shooting process it finally pops up and says something about the Default Gateway being lost or disconnected and then it fixes it and I'm fine for the rest of the day. It appears to happen more often when I'm streaming some video I've found on Facebook, or it's really bad when I'm streaming the weather report from a local news station, but sometimes I'm not streaming anything (that I know of) and just opening a new webpage. This has been going on almost since I got the computer over two years ago and I called HP support and they were not help at all. I do turn my computer off every night. Sometimes I'll go two or three days without an issue, but not very often. It is not my modem or router. I have a laptop and my wife's desktop and other devices such as cell phones and smart TV that are still getting signal when my desktop cannot get a connection so it is clearly just this one desktop which happens to be the one I use all the time. It's not a huge deal but it wastes a little time each day so I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix it permanently.
Thanks for any assistance.
