This was a problem before, which I thought I'd fixed. Originally, after some searching and thinking, I noticed I had too much stored on my computer, as I thought I'd stored a lot of things on one of my removables, but obviously, I hadn't. I figured it was a memory issue where something overflowed and caused the adapter to go screwy. Well, after sorting a decent chunk of my storage, about a fourth of my total available freed back up, it seemed to stop for a while. Ping was back to normal in online games, I didn't have random disconnects, videos stopped having to buffer or just outright refusing to load every so often, it was all nice, y'know?
Well, unfortunately, it started back today. Same thing as last time: my computer shows I'm connected, shows a few bars or full signal, says I'm connected, the troubleshooter won't recognize anything wrong, but I will have no connection, anywhere. I can't play an online game, or even connect to one, I can't load any webpage, even Google, I can't connect to Skype, or anything, but I also can't really address any of the issues. I've tried everything to get it to settled, and all of the tricks work, for about ten minutes or so. I'll restart my computer, my router, and my modem, and I'll come back to perfect connection, which doesn't even waver, until a few minutes later, where it just completely crashes and burns to nothing. I can occasionally fix it without having to actually go through the tedium of restarting something, or everything, but I have to wait for my computer to recognize that I've lost internet connection, which is seemingly random, and the little yellow warning to show up by my connection on the bar. I'll run the troubleshooter, and it will almost instantly just restart my wifi adapter, telling me that the default gateway isn't available but that it was fixed. Now, since I freed up the memory, I've not downloaded anything, and the storage numbers have not changed, at all, I still have well over a hundred gigs left free, so if it was a memory thing before, then I don't know how much free space I have to have to be able to access the internet, but it's apparently quite a freaking bit.
A few details escape me at the moment, but I should be able to answer specific questions if they're presented. I've seen a few "fixes" for wifi adapters, but I'm only faintly sure that's the issue, as that seems to be what has to reset to fix it, and not one of them seemed to be the same issue, as they all have the network connection end entirely, with the computer even recognizing it, whereas my connection is only my internet, or, at least that's all I'm aware of, as my computer only rarely figures out the connection is lost at all to even the internet.
Any possible help is very much appreciated.
