Every time I reboot my computer or hook a computer into my router I have to unplug my router and plug it back in otherwise I get an error saying "no internet" and "identifying" and/or "does not have a valid ip address"
I can get to the router and see other computers on the network but no internet
This also only happens with Windows; Linux connects with no issues
My setup is as follows:
Charter internet box --> router upstairs --> router (this is said router with connection issues) downstairs & WiFi extender
Connected ethernet cord from upstairs router to port 4 on downstairs router (if plugged into internet port it will not give internet)
Downstairs router is a Linksys WRT54GS
Both routers are WiFi capable but the downstairs has no wireless devices connected
Upstairs has several devices connected directly and through a Netgear WiFi extender located downstairs
Windows 7 Ultimate and 10 Home and Pro
Is there an easy fix for this or do I have to just unplug my router constantly?
It's a minor annoyance but still an annoyance
