Default Gateway

rjm41 · 27 Nov 2016

Hi everyone, I'm cracking up trying to find a definitive solution for this damn problem. My windows 10 desktop PC, says the Default Gateway is not available. I've checked my Ethernet cable, tried all the solutions I've found online. It's such a pain because you don't know when the connection to the web will drop off. So frustrating. So I'm hopping you lovely people will help. Maybe point me to where there is a solution that I could follow.
Cheers.

Welcome to the forum. When you get that does the router still have a internet connection and does the port light on the router show the pc port connected. Have you tired setting an static ip you can ge this if your dhcp lease is very short. Open a cmd prompt type ipconfig /all post results

It means exactly that. Nothing to laugh about when the computer cannot find the network gateway. Majority of these issues are caused by human error, with third party security software, not updates to Windows.
