My PC can't stay connected to internet on new routers.?

Update:

My Computer for some reason can't stay online using new routers only my old linksys router. When it disconnects me from online I can troubleshoot and be back on immediately but I will eventually be disconnected again. The error I get from troubleshooting is "default gateway was lost". Replaced the modem twice now as well.

Update 2:

Oh heres the ip config

Update 4:

Ok things have changed up a bit. My isp sent someone over to repair a few things so now my connection seems pretty solid. This computer still has dc issues but now instead of gateway lost i'm getting "Ethernet doesn't have a valid ip configuration" randomly. Sometimes it will reconnect on its on but usually needs a troubleshoot to get back on. The Ethernet cord seems find I was using it with other computers with no issue.

The new router i'm using now is a optimum sagemcom router.

    You won't tell what connection type from "My PC" or "My Computer" or what "new routers" replaced your "old linksys router". You do give some pointless Iv4 and Iv6 data but nothing important to help answer. No blind guessing from far away. Wasted question.

    Source(s): My cable modem, my Ooma VOIP, my Linksys flash BIOS router with VPN and a whole house ethernet and wireless to 4 printers, two TVs, and 16 computers runs fine 24-7 with only a few cold start reboots now and then.

    Are you using wifi? You may have a old wifi adapter in your computer that needs a driver update or you need to update the wifi adapter to newer standards! Those who think wifi never changes or never has compatibility issues are simply forgetting that technology is always changing.. Now if this is happening using ethernet then a driver issue is very likely to fix it.. although even old ethernet adapters do fail.

    So hook-up another computer & see what happens. Take it into the Geek Squad & have them diagnose the problem. Sounds to me like a spotty internet service problem, and not your computer.
