As far as I can see, this seems to have started to occur within the last week...
2 computers on LAN: desktop and laptop.
Both using wired (gigabit ethernet) connections
My little network icon in the system tray often goes to a yellow ! exclamation mark, sometimes a red X (it seems to happen mostly upon initial logging into Windows after booting up)
Clicking troubleshooting says to check the router.
My 2 computers can see each OTHER fine when this happens - I can view shared folders and copy files fine between them.
But NO internet access when this problem occurs.
I can still access the router's admin pages via 192.168.0.1
Cannot ping anything on internet - says no route to host.
This problem started occurring on both computer roughly over the last week. (It's Sep.20/2015 as of typing this right now). I noticed both computers did a large batch of Windows Update updates (like 20+ on each!) a couple days ago.
OS on both: Win7 Home Premium
Has there been a Windows 7 update recently that has made this a common problem with people?
My network drivers are up to date.
I have not changed any config on my router or on either of the 2 computers recently (not even remotely recently).
This is very important as I'm not a person who uses the computer infrequently to go on YouTube and watch funny cat videos - my desktop here is what I do all my work on: banking, work emails, other important things on the web, etc, etc.
Suggestions?
Thank you SO much in advance for any help!!
