Need to continuously reset network Adapter in windows vista

So that’s why it is not difficult to get the updates. Other wise you can go to the control panel and go to the network settings and then go to the specific network adapter right click on it and check for the updates. You can update it from there also. So do go ahead and try this solution it will definitely help you.

The other method that you can try is that try setting the factory default setting in the router. Once you have done that follow the given steps
1) First turn off all the modem,router and computer as well.
2) Start connecting the modem to the router ‘s wan/ internet port at the same time connect the computer to the router’s LAN port.
3) Start with the modem and also start with the router as well. Start with the booting of the computer after all the three have started then check whether your issue still exist or not.

I really did not have any idea that such a simple installation of the driver will help me to such a extent. Anyways thanks a lot for making me remember about the update to the driver.
