New router, "Default Gateway Not Available" error
You'll have to excuse me as I explain this as best I can; I'm not the most tech savvy individual, but I'll do my best to explain my problem in as much detail as possible.
I had been having a lot of trouble with my wifi and purchased a new router last month (info below). At first it worked fine. Signal strong and consistent. Then I started to get random appearances of the "default gateway not available" error. I looked online and tried a lot of the most common fixes, including updating drivers, uninstalling my drivers and resetting for the default drivers, unchecking the box the allows my computer to turn the router off to save power, changing channels, setting my default gateway manually, and several other fixes. Nothing worked. At its worst, I'm dropping my signal every minute or so. This is especially a problem because I like to play online games, and that's not exactly possible with a signal like this.
This is my laptop (little over two year old):

This is my new router (slightly more than one month old):

If anyone knows a fix to this situation, I'd appreciate it greatly. If you need any more information about my setup, let me know.
