A concise, software-focused checklist to complement the hardware suggestions from and . Because the install was already redone, focus first on diagnostics that isolate Windows, drivers and services before deciding to replace hardware.

  • Capture evidence. Run ipconfig /all and save the output when connected and when disconnected. Run a continuous ping to an external IP and your gateway (for example ping -t 8.8.8.8) and redirect to a file to collect time-stamped dropouts. Check Event Viewer (System and Application) for DHCP, TCPIP or driver errors at the same timestamps.
  • Test in a different software environment. Boot the machine into Safe Mode with Networking, or boot a Linux live USB; if the problem disappears, that points to a Windows driver/service or third‑party app.
  • Reset and repair Windows networking components. From an elevated command prompt run netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset, then reboot. Run sfc /scannow to check critical system files.
  • Driver and power-management checks. Remove the adapter entries from Device Manager and reinstall the vendor drivers (download the latest from the vendor). In Device Manager, open each USB Root Hub and the affected adapter, then disable any power-management option that allows the system to turn the device off.
  • Short-term isolates: temporarily disable any third‑party firewall/antivirus and test. Try the adapter in a different USB port and, if possible, on another PC to confirm whether the problem follows the device or the machine.

If these steps still show intermittent behavior, collect the ping logs, ipconfig /all output and Event Viewer excerpts before contacting the ISP or vendor support. That evidence will let them correlate line or provisioning issues versus a client-side driver/service fault.

is it a laptop or desktop?
if its laptop make sure you are disabling wireless.
if desktop , do you have a router? if you do , get a static internal IP.
