This issue has been occurring for the last couple of days, my internet (wire connection) just stops working, i troubleshoot the problem and after ~30 seconds it said it fixed the :

default gateway is not available

and sometimes i get :

The connection between your access point, routers, or cable modem and the internet is broken

this 2nd error don't get fixed when it appears, it have a yellow triangle, but the internet works.

I tried :

  • reinstalling the driver (latest version of the intel network drivier for the MSI Z270 sli)

    • those ipconfig steps (flushdns, release, etc..)

    • removed VmWare adapters (i use virtual machine sometimes)

    • installed "Complete Internet repair" ticked all the boxes and apply.

And the issue is still occurring, knowing that all of my other devices (phones, ps4, switch, other computers) all work fine.

any idea how i can identify the issue please ?

The only clue that i have is that this have started occurring after i tried using DNS4ME to watch Netflix outside the U.S, but i made sure to reverse all the steps they asked to do here

EDIT

i can't believe i forget to mention this...

I am using 2 Routers,

  • ZTE provided by my ISP (ZXHN H367N)
  • Asus RT-N12+

The computer with the problem is connected to the ZTE with a cable, ZTE is also having its own Wifi so my other devices can connect to it.

The Asus router is connected to the ZTE via cable into to the available 4 ports that you use to connect any other device (i have a red port in the ZTE called WLAN but i never used that).

The reason i use the Asus router is because it allows me to control the bandwidth for those connected to it, so am using it as a "guest wifi access point"

Could this be the issue ?

EDIT 2

yeah its definetly the 2nd router, i just unplugged it from the main one while the internet got cut again, and the net is coming back immediately without the need to run the windows troubleshooting, i am not sure what i should be looking for but is this normal : enter image description here

The 1st client is the Asus router, 2nd is this computer, is it okay that the router doesn't have an IpV6 address ?

Edit 3:

Internet got cut while the Asus router is completely unplugged, and after troubleshooting am getting this : enter image description here

Edit 4:

yeah the Issue (default gateway is not available) is still happening even when the Asus router is disconnecting ...

could this help ? running ipconfig/all when the net is broken give a different result for the Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-interface, it has less more values than the "normal one"

In Device Manager, you should find your network device under 'Network adapters'. First uninstall your device driver, make sure you select the checkbox to 'Delete the driver software for this device'. This should ensure that Windows removes the device and its settings from the registry. Then restart your computer, then reinstall your driver again.

If this doesn't work, check if you have a system restore point that was created before you made changes for DNS4ME.

In the future, before you make any configuration changes... create a system restore point.

  • Hi, thanks a lot for the help but can you please check the post edit, i feel really stupid for forgetting that ... Jan 12, 2018 at 16:12
  • The edits to your question make it a very different question. Is the ZTE router address 192.168.100.1 or is that the Asus router? Jan 25, 2018 at 4:42
