[USB WIRELESS] Wifi-Adapter Reset: Default Gateway not Available

[pepband]

DESCRIPTION:

Limited connection happens sporadically. After using windows trouble-shooting the error is usually resolved with the dialog box returning "Resetting wifi-adapter" then "Problem resolved, bad gateway: default gateway reset".

Sometimes, however, the trouble-shooter becomes unresponsive and I must unplug and plug back in the usb wifi adapter I use. During this same time other devices on the network (My phone etc) maintain full connectivity with no issues.

I have tried flushing the DNS at the suggestion of some other posts, however, that didn't seem to help. I also disabled the option in Device Manager that let windows manage power to my networking devices. I also checked the bandwidth using a utility provided online and adjusted my channel on my router accordingly (most devices used 1, I switched to 6, no that specifics matter).

I can post the contents of my ipconfig, however, I wanted to play nice with personal information rules, since I'm not sure on what information is sensitive and not. Below are my system specs.

Thanks for your time and any help that might get me closer to fixing this!

Make sure you have the latest driver for your adapter and OS, they have had problems with these and they just refurb them and sell them over and over, I've thrown away 2 of these 3100's

Yup, I have the latest for both as of this morning.

I'm not sure what the limitations are on thread necro, but I'm still having issues and its been like a month. Its not really the most perilous issue, but I'd really like to be able to use my connection for more time sensitive things like gaming.

At 62 reads and only one reply, I'm not really sure where else to turn at this point. Any advice would be appreciated.
