I have been experiencing these internet disconnects since the day I performed upgrade install in my PC (from build 7264 to 7600.....no errors before, during or after the install). I haven't been able to trace the root cause of this. I also did a complete clean install of all the updated network, sound, chipset drivers using driver sweeper. I am using updated modem firmware. This occurs even if I am playing games online or surfing. Even google searching didn't help. I have also unchecked the 'Save power...' option in Network Adapter properties in Device manager. Any other suggestions or has anyone faced this problem & fixed it ?
I would first recommend to make a clean fresh new install of Seven to see if it still appears. With an update you're never sure.
I had the same problem. It was with my wifi. I was using the built in Microsucks driver and then upgraded to the vista x64 version of the Atheros driver and havent had a problem since. Note: i am running x64 and have an Atheros wifi card. Change the driver accordingly.
Clean installation is always the last option. I am hoping some other helpful way comes up. I am not using any wifi router. I have a Realtek PCIe adapter. Also, I was using Vista x64 drivers before I went for win 7 drivers. I download my drivers from realtek only.
What model is that PCIe? Reason why i ask is because sometimes different makers will use the same driver(some have small changes). I had to use a modded driver from vista x64 to get mine to work on my Win 7 x64. Even though my PCIe is made by AMDtek, had to use the some made by linksys. Same driver under a different name.
OK.....its Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller 8168...thats what its saying in system information....funny it doesn't show the complete name like it shows in the device manager of Vista.
Any updates on this problem I have the same problem have done the fresh install ,updated drivers etc etc But the problem still persists any help will be most welcome
