Alienware Alpha i3, about 4-5 years old, having a bundle of internet issues.

For a while now, my Alienware Alpha i3 has been having trouble connecting to the internet ever since we moved to Texas. Typically, it would start out with me being unable to connect to the wifi connection, and I would have to trouble shoot it multiple times in order for it to work. Just recently, the troubleshooter became useless. It cannot find any errors or fix any errors, either.



Sometimes I would connect but immediately be disconnected, and when I check the internet connections, there is no network available for me to connect to. Troubleshooting does not work.


I have uninstalled my Wi-Fi adapter and restarted my computer countless times, and this never solved my issue.


I have gone into the command prompt and typed in the following commands:

netsh int ip reset C:\resetlog.txt

netsh winsock reset

ipconfig/flushdns

None of these solved the issue.

Everytime I troubleshoot, I get 4 different errors. Sometimes, they are all at once. The errors are as followed:

The default gateway is not available

"Wi-Fi" does not have a valid iP configuration

There might be a problem with the network adapter

A network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken.


I'm at a loss of what could possibly fix my issue.

Sometimes, I would be able to connect just fine, but the wifi adapter resets itself at random.
