You can uninstall it from Device Manager by simply right clicking and choosing it from the context menu and then include the drivers when prompted, but.....
That shouldn't be necessary, I would think that simply using the software from Intel, that I linked to above would update / overwrite any older package that was in place.

Cheers, it says its been updated and still zero fix. Have to go out will check back. Do you think it might be modem side? Eh......anyway back in a few hours

Try assigning static values to the IPv4 properties of the properties of the problem adapter.
Use the following

IP address = 192.168.1.237
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.1
DNS Server Preferred = 192.168.1.1
Alternate 8.8.8.8

See if that wakes things up.

Cut my trip short. Did that and ended up with zero wifi and ethernet issue unresolved, took it back to default and have wifi, but same issue is unresolved. Now off to get a haircut back later. And appreciate the input.

Is it a good idea to post the config of the modem/router? Talk soon

That really doesn't make any sense. Setting static values to the IPv4 properties of the problem ethernet adapter should not have in any way impacted the behavior of the wireless adapter. So I don't know what might be going on.
What network devices are you using on your network.
Are you straight into your ISP provided device.
What is the make model and model number of that.
Do you have additional switches or routers on the network

Out of the house. I know what you mean. I have been noticing since my fresh reinstall that "I am having infrequent loss of wireless. Which I've been resolvong with a reboot for now. So your last suggestion most likely didn't affect the wifi issue. I had just written what had occurred

I did a fresh install yesterday and since this timeI have actually been getting dropped signal via pc 2 router. I'm not sure if its related to the ethernet issue. But it has been doing it frequently and randomly since getting on it today to figuire out why ethernet is still not running after a fresh OS install.

It's the reasoning as to why I suggested taking a look a screenie of the router UI. Maybe, anyway I have had a couple of routers running in the downstairs flat as they pull data from my modem. Yet their routers have been setup and running well for 3 months untill 2 days ago, the time I found a lan problem after adding an range extender in the garage.

So assuming that I myself think it maybe a Pc, Router and Extension issue with compatibility involved.

That is.......an assumption though. The modem Im using is the netgear d7800. I'll keep in touch, off to have some lunch.

Thanks

Hi Siegex,

I noticed that DHCP is disabled via the "Tunneling" setting , @Trouble mentioned this (DHCP) a couple of times above, I would say that if you are indeed using tunneling, your problem lies there?. :confused:

You need to determine which device in your physical environment is
192.168.1.1
AND go from there

I'm a little concerned about this one

Kaspersky's support forum is apparently down so I can't do much in the way of research and I don't have any recent experience with Kaspersky.

Day 2.

Yes I also thought the toredo tunneling was strange as I have had an issue involving this years ago. I'm just not a tech savy trouble shooter.

Soo.......I'll keep hanging in there, just had my breakfast and shortly back in to digging around.

I'll log on to kaspersky when their up and running and ask about the case you pointed out which Ive never seen before until recently. Might have something to do with me setting the router up afor remote access. Might even pay to ring netgear I suppose. But that'll have to wait till monday.
