Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 my internet sometimes fails to work on bootup.

The little computer screen (network connection) in the system tray has a yellow triangle with an exclamation (limited connectivity) and the only way to fix it is to reboot the router, this never happened on Vista or XP.

Is this a W7 issue?

Its getting annoying now, having to reboot the router I every time I turn on my PC :confused:

I have a netgear DG8634 router, I have updated the firmware to the latest.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies, it is wired mogwai, it isnt a wireless router and I am on 64bit.

So its a Windows 7 issue then, that narrows it down abit. Thank you :)

OP, as Duke suggested make sure you have the latest drivers. Other than that there isn't much you can do though restarting the router shouldn't be necessary - does ipconfig /renew, reconnecting the network cable or disabling and re-enabling the network adapter work?

Updated all network drivers, tried ipconfig/renew. tried disabling and re-enabling network - Problem still not sorted :( Seems the only way for me to get on is to reboot it

I even did a W7 reinstall just to make sure I installed the network driver and not Windows and still get the issue.

Starting to peeve me now, every time I come home I need to reboot my router to get on the Internet ...
 
Problem sorted! :D

Ended up doing a Factory reset on the router, everything back to default and reconfigured the router for my broadband and jobs a good'un! :D

Thanks for all your help guys :)
