About 4 days ago my laptop (Razer Blade Stealth 2016) randomly started causing the Modem/Router (Hitron CGNM-2250) to crash or reboot every 5 minutes and cant narrow it down to one because of a lack of information.

There is 5 devices connected to the router one is plugged in through Ethernet and is also affected due to the rebooting.

I have a Killer-1535 Card currently installed in this laptop and plan on changing to a Intel card very soon as from what I’ve seen online may be the cause of this problem.

-Things I’ve tried-
-Replaced Router with a new one
-Fresh wipe of windows 10
-Uninstalled killer suite and just installed the newest driver
-Reset the router to factory settings
-renewed ip (CMD)
-reset network adapter (winsock)

*I don’t have a Ethernet port on this computer* so that’s out of the picture

The temporary fix I have found so my roommate can use his laptop is by disabling my network adapter.

If someone could help me with information I need to provide or a fix it would be greatly appreciated.

 
Solution
So, if your network adapter is disabled (or the laptop is off, I assume), then the router does not reboot. Very odd. My guess is that this hardware related and not software (especially since you have tried about everything). Replacing the NIC is probably your only solution. If your looking for a temporary solution, I would consider a USB wireless adapter or USB to ethernet (they suck, so it would be temporary).
