internet keeps dropping out and I have no idea why

also to my past thread, i get the following message.

The default gateway is not available.

the trouble shooter fixes it and then it starts all over again.

Untick your post above as people will not look at the thread thinking it has been fixes

Search for and open the Device Manager. Expand the Network adapters. Right-click on the network adapter that you are currently using (Broadcom 802.11a Network Adapter – for example). Click on Update Driver Software… in the contextual menu.

Click on Search automatically for updated driver software and allow Windows to search for and download any available software updates for your network adapter’s drivers.

If that doesn't work because windows says you have the latest drivers then uninstall the driver and restart the Machine (start -power -restart) Windows wil reload the drivers when it restarts.

thanks for your swift response fruit bat but excuse my ignorance and tell me how will i know which network adaptor i would be using ?

It will be listed under Network adaptors, tell us what shows in there.

hya fruit bat this is what i have

Broadcom BCM43142 802,11 bgn Wi Fi - Adaptor

have tried what you said other than deleting and then re starting

it seems after doing some investigating that my problem is also an issue with loads of other people and is in fact down to a windows 10 update. There has been a rather large update today which took quite a while and on completion the fault i was suffering seems to have been fixed. Cheers for your help fruit bat and continue doing what you do for others,

regards

pete
