About a year ago my LAN connection kept going out and I had to reset the adapter via troubleshooting the connection. It would work for a time but then it would need to be reset again after a while. Then the issue starting happening at a faster rate until I could no longer be connected for more than a few minutes. My solution was buy a LAN car which I stupidly didn't check enough and realized too late that it didn't fit my motherboard. My next solution was getting a wireless adapter since my PC didn't have native wifi capabilities which worked wonderful until recently and now I have the same issue but now it is the "Wireless Connection Adapter" that is reset when I troubleshoot my connection. Has anyone had an issue like this or know the root problem. I'm thinking it's the motherboard since the wireless adapter is a USB plugged into the back of my PC. Also all of my drivers are up to date for the LAN and Wireless adapters.
 
Solution
Never heard such thing. That both WIRE and WIRELESS fail the same when they are operated from different chips, different drivers etc.

Don't like USB-based NICs, I always go for PCI-based, not expensive at all.


Yes both phones, and a laptop all work without issue also the PC in question does this on any connection (I've used a total of three to test it)
 


So the issues aren't related to each other? Yeah I originally bought a LAN card but I didn't think to look at the PCI slot before buying and it didn't fit which was awesome. I'll probably buy a new LAN card then. Thanks for the help.
