Constantly getting default gateway is not available

This issue has been occurring for the last couple of days, my internet (wire connection) just stops working, i troubleshoot the problem and after ~30 seconds it said it fixed the :
default gateway is not available
and sometimes i get :
The connection between your access point, routers, or cable modem and the internet is broken
this 2nd error don't get fixed when it appears, it have a yellow triangle, but the internet works.
I tried :

• reinstalling the driver (latest version of the intel network drivier for the MSI Z270 sli)
• those ipconfig steps (flushdns, release, etc..)
• removed VmWare adapters (i use virtual machine sometimes)
• installed "Complete Internet repair" ticked all the boxes and apply.
  
  

And the issue is still occurring, knowing that all of my other devices (phones, ps4, switch, other computers) all work fine.
any idea how i can identify the issue please ?
The only clue that i have is that this have started occurring after i tried using DNS4ME to watch Netflix outside the U.S, but i made sure to reverse all the steps they asked to do here


also,
I am using 2 Routers,

• ZTE provided by my ISP (ZXHN H367N)
• Asus RT-N12+

The computer with the problem is connected to the ZTE with a cable, ZTE is also having its own Wifi so my other devices can connect to it.
The Asus router is connected to the ZTE via cable into to the available 4 ports that you use to connect any other device (i have a red port in the ZTE called WLAN but i never used that).
The reason i use the Asus router is because it allows me to control the bandwidth for those connected to it, so am using it as a "guest wifi access point"
Could this be the issue ?
i am not sure what i should be looking for but is this normal :

The 1st client is the Asus router, 2nd is this computer, is it okay that the router doesn't have an IpV6 address ?
Internet got cut while the Asus router is completely unplugged, and after troubleshooting am getting this :




Knowing that the Issue (default gateway is not available) is still happening even when the Asus router is completely disconnected and shutdown.

Edit:

could this help ? running ipconfig/all when the net is broken give a different result for the Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-interface, it has less more values than the "normal one"

Thank you!

Hi alaslipknot.

You said this started after you installed DNS4ME. Likely this has cause corruption.

Your router config looks fine and the way it is set up looks fine. As you said the other devices are fine that are connected to your ZTE. You also said issue happens when Asus removed. Your Asus in my opinion has nothing to do with this.

Something is corrupt in computer.

First I would power cycle ZTE router, easy to do and gets it out of the way.

Next on I would reset your Network on your computer.

Start > Settings > Network and Internet > Scroll to bottom on right hand side > Reset Network.

You will have to install any custom communication software like VPN's and maybe your VM connections.

I would then run the following four bolded commands. Use a Command Prompt(admin) or Powershell(admin)
Do not key in info in brackets, there for your information.
ipconfig /flushdns (Clear the dns cache)
nbtstat -RR (release and refesh NetBIOS names)
netsh int ip reset (reset ip settings)
netsh winsock reset (Reset Winsock Catalog)

Hopefully this sets things back to the way they were. As an alternative if you have restore points enable you could run system restore.

We recommend Macrium Reflect to take images of your system. Easy to restore, free and reliable.

...am a bit surprised why Windows defender didn't caught that...

It's a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) and Defender doesn't detect those by default. It does however have the ability to detect PUPs (or PUAs as Microsoft calls them). This is intended for use in the Enterprise, but can be turned on in any edition of Windows 10.

damn... it didn't take that long to get messed up again ...

Malwarebytes say...

Removal of Elex sometimes requires special instructions. You can find several examples in our Malware Removal Self-Help Guides.

Well as long shots sometimes pay off, did you replace lan cable?

You said you are using the latest driver for your Lan, lets go back one or two. Note the version number in device manager before and after installing to confirm installation took.

Also we need to temporarily shut off Windows Driver updates. Option four in the tutorial.

Yes I would expect that this is being recorded under the System portion of the log.

Open the log and then use the filter on right. Exactly what you should filter for is the question. I'd start with the word connection.

Search and there are a lot of issues with your NIC. Think I just got one, oh joy.

I haven't tried, you have to decide suitability. After you confirm older driver doesn't work you may wish to head to intel and see what drivers and tools they have.
