running windows 7 64, have had zero problems for about 6 months until now after i moved i cannot wire to router i have to use a wireless adapter. Originally bought a d link dwa 130 and it worked great for about a week then out of the blue the net went out for no reason whatsoever, no updates had happened at the time there was no antivirus or firewall anything. tried everything(to my knowledge) and couldnt get it working again.(it was connecting just not allowing me internet access so it wasnt the adapter i dont think). anyways finally gave up uninstalled the drivers for that d link and exchanged it for a netgear adapter which worked great for about 2-3 weeks then the exact same problem started again. I am connected to the public network which has no password, but all of a sudden says no internet access. I have tried disabling/enabling, uninstalled bonjour(didnt have that weird line in services which is apparently related), turned off firewall, turned off windows defender, reinstalled software. Again this happened for no apparent reason, nothing was going on on the comp i hadnt installed anything new in a long time, no antivirus programs making any disruption, no updates just while browsing wikipedia all of a sudden cut out.

forgot to add: i have the same d link adapter i originally had working fine on another computer in the apartment running windows 7 as well and it has never had a problem.(i also tried the d link adapter that i was having problems with on several other computers in the house and it worked perfectly fine.

i have no clue how the d link could work perfectly then conk out, then the netgear worked perfectly for another few weeks and now again (Connected to the network but giving the yellow exclamation warning sign saying no internet access)

appologize if thats too much info but am pretty frustrated at this point any help whatsoever would be great

Hello and welcome to the forums.
You might try checking with the manufacturer of your wireless router to determine if there is a firmware update available. Typically when this type of problem occurs if you open the network and sharing center and click on the red x either between your gateway and the internet globe or between you computer and the gateway to invoke the troubleshooter, you will ususally get a response indicating an issue with communicating or connecting to the default gateway or words to that effect, so you may want to establish whether or not, when the problem is present, if you can ping the inside edge of the router and open the routers web interface.
You can and probably should experiment with different channels...

Yep that can be an issue.
Try using the arrow keys to select you OS's hard drive hit enter and continue tapping the F8 key.
Don't drum it just tap it intermittently and see if you can get to the boot options to select safemode with networking.
MalwareBytes is not an issue, I've never seen it produce any similar issues as you are having.
You may want to consider at some point in the future installing Link Removed due to 404 Error just for peace of mind. Run the update feature and perform a full scan. It's a reasonably decent product, with a small footprint overall, easy on system resources and doesn't usually cause any networking issues as a rule.

Probably because, if he is using MAC or IP address filtering the new adapter (new MAC address, probably new IP address) would not be included within his filters until such time as he either became aware of its' existence on the network or until such time as it may have also exceeded a usage limit threshold.

so thats pretty much my problem then? i guess i should try to see if hes either manually putting in my address to be blocked from internet access or if im exceeding some limit...ill call around and find out today or tomorrow, will respond back here when i find out....thanks a lot for the help btw...i was thinking that that was probably what it was considering how it would just cut me off the net at a completely random time while just browsing the web with absolutely nothing having changed whatsoever on my computer in the last month or so lol....anyways thanks again, will let you know what happens with it hopefully thats what the issue is.

Yes. Please follow-up here as I would be very interested in what you find.
Depending on how sophisticated his equipment and software is there are any number of filters that can be put in place that will prohibit or otherwise throttle internet use based on the type of internet usage or the amount of bandwidth consumed in a given period of time.

You can probably work it out if you can determine how your usage may differ on the problem computer as compared to other computers that seem to be working without similar issues.
Say for instance, if you use this computer to download large quantities of or individually large torrent files, movies, stream a lot of TV, music, etc., or if you often visit some sites that he may have black listed and that may be triggering a filter that he has in place.

In any event keep us posted as I for one, would be interested in what you discover.
