This sounds like something easy to try but you can restart your Actiontec Gateway because you can waste a lot of time messing with your computer for no reason if it’s actually a problem with the router. In case it does not, you can always download the latest driver using another computer and then install it. Note that Windows will automatically reinstall the default driver for you.

This has also been known to fix the problem with some people.

If that doesn’t work, you can also uninstall the network driver and then reinstall it after a restart. Now click on the Driver tab and choose Update Driver. Here are the instructions to update the driver via Windows.Ĭlick on Start, type in devmgmt.msc, press Enter and then expand Network Controllers and right-click on the problem network card.

We do recommend that you contact the manufacturer of your PC for help completing this task.
