Hi everyone,
I installed a windows update yesterday (windows 10, version 1709) and my internet stopped working. It's a 64-bit windows 10. This desktop has both an ethernet and wireless connections. Network diagnostics comes up with the warning: "doesn't have a valid IP configuration," for both the ethernet and wireless connections. The internet was working fine before the update. I should also note that all of my other devices are currently connected to the internet and working (some wifi and some ethernet corded). I am tempted to recover back to the earlier update, but at some point I know I will have to update again and I'll be stuck with the same problem. The router is NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1750 Smart Dual Band WiFi Router (R6700)
This is what I have tried:
-Restarting the computer and the router.
-Manually adding in this computer's MAC into my router's list of devices.
-Making sure the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) properties are set to obtaining IP and DNS server addresses automatically
-I even tried adding the computer's information from "ipconfig" in this setting
--Located 802.11n Channel Width for band 2.4 and set it to Auto.
-I uninstalled and updated both network adaptors (downloaded most recent driver updates from website on another computer and transferred and installed from a flashdrive) Intel (R) --Band WIreless-AC 3165, Realtek PCle GBE Family Controller.
-Forgetting the wireless network and using the WPS button on the router (the computer detected settings and said no internet, secured. then same IP configuration warning when I ran network troubleshooting.
-Changing startup power settings
-Turning off windows firewall
-I called netgear, but they were unable to help me with paying for some crazy expensive extended warranty support
-Did the following commands in the command prompt as an administrator (including computer restarts): netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /renew
-used network reset tool to reset the network settings and reboot
After doing all of these steps in addition to all of the restarts, I noticed that my gateway is blank within ipconfig /all. Another way of saying that my computer can’t connect to the router. What else can I do? I really appreciate your help!
