Internet disconnecting repeatedly - very strange - some help pls

[netrate]

Desktop computer - win 7 ultimate - wifi connection.

This just started about 3 days ago. I am using both Chrome and Brave and suddenly the internet stops working. There is the tell-tale beep (the same sound when you plug in a usb for the first time) and then the internet shuts off. From here, it will not show me any wifi connections. Here is what I have tried :

1) cold boot - works briefly and then disconnect again.
2) a batch file that has :
@echo offipconfig /flushdnsipconfig /registerdnsipconfig /releasenetsh winsock resetnetsh int ip resetipconfig /renew

brings up :

"no operation can be performed on Bluetooth network card 4 while it has its media disconnected"

* I am not sure what that means.


The batch file is run at the admin level. This does not work but if I click on the wifi icon, I bring up the "troubleshoot problems". The trouble shooter will do its thing and then bring up :
"Wireless Network Connector 19 doesn't have a valid IP address"
then it works briefly and then stops again.

Things of note :

• the internet connection only drops when I OPEN a browser (either chrome or brave)
• my wifi is running in the house just fine - I have both my phone and a separate laptop running and the wifi does not drop for them
• virus checker has been run

Any suggestions how to get this working or troubleshoot?

You say Bluetooth network card 4 what exactly is the card is it bluetooth or wifi?

 

[netrate]

It is a combo card.-wifi and bluetook
Ubit - PCI-E wireless wifi card (with bluetooth)
I don't use the bluetooth, so maybe I should disconnect the cabling for it.

Update : I physically disconnected the bluetooth cabling and disabled all of the bluetooth in the device manager.
Still same result.: Disconnecting randomly.

Open a cmd prompt type

ipconfig /all
netsh wlan show interfaces

run when working and when it drops and post both results

How does one go about posting results from a cmd prompt?

 

[samuria]

In cmd prompt top menu (c;\ icon on top) there is an option to select text and copy then paste in to forums

Is there any information from this that shouldn't be publicly shown?

I am still running into the same problem after removing the bluetooth cable - the internet conks out. I now click on troubleshoot and it says "A default gateway is not available"

i had this happen on my old Toshiba laptop, did all the standard fixes......
got there in the end tho, i actually shut the router down, yep i was getting desperate, and like you i had other working stuff
restarted it >>at least 30 seconds later<< and of i went internet was back

Thanks for the info, but I shut down my router every night when I go to bed, so that isn't the issue. This is happening frequently while working on the computer. My cell phone on WIFI doesn't conk out, just the computer.

night time shutdown wont correct it

The comp needs to be on when you shut the router off

Yes I have done that as well, I should have mentioned that. The wifi will reconnect after some time (once I have shut the internet off/on), but it doesn't solve the issue. This is only a recent issue I have been experiencing.
