(BTW as per the season, I may be a bit slow in responding…thanks for your patience.)

Thanks to the group in advance, as this is driving me slowly mad.

(Lightbulb Flash over DimSun): Do some cable ISP’s routinely zap their routers randomly with new IP addresses? Info: This does not seem to happen with our smartphones, which only use the 2 GHz band-the laptop uses the 5 GHz band. I can’t figure out if this is a hardware/adapter issue, a router issue, a software issue or a configuration issue. I’m using the last/latest 2013 (there are no newer) Broadcom drivers (6.30.223.215). The router it’s going to is a Sagemcom Fast 5260 belonging to the cable co., here are some prelim specs on the WiFi adapter in the laptop, along with some non-sensitive info like IP addresses, etc:ĭell Wireless 1540 802.11a/g/n (2.4GHz/5GHz) made by BroadcomĬonnection NameWireless Network Connection 4 It can do it three times a day or not for a week. Now, “I’m not a drinking man, but…” this has been defying me for quite a while. When the problem occurs and I run “Network Diagnostics” (hah!) it basically repairs the thing with resetting the modem (same thing as disconnecting and reconnecting?) with the following result screen: Here’s the deal: A few times a day, mostly (but not always, it can and does pull this stunt randomly) when the laptop is opened, the WiFi connection goes wonky, and disconnecting and reconnecting always fixes the problem. Networking is NOT my area…up to the firewall on the PC, fine. This has been slowly driving me mad for months.
