I always turn it off and on to fix this. Internet randomly goes down still.

Sounds like a LAN thing, not a modem thing.
You need to make sure that your laptop is using DHCP--automatic IP assignment. You don't have to, but it's generally recommended as it helps avoid dumb cases like these. :P
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections
Find the network adapter you're using to connect to the network.
Properties > IPv4 > Obtain an IP address automatically.

Or if you want to use a static LAN IP for whatever reason, just change the last number in the IP address to something else (.2~254).

Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) is checked on the lappy. And so is the Version which is TCP/IPv6.

I know. Double click it to assign an IP or change it to auto (HDCP).

It's already under "Obtain IP adress automatically.

Then your router is being weird. :( Are all computers on auto?
You'll have to access the router config (http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1) and dig around in the network settings for DHCP. Kind of hard to come up with a solution, 'cause I dunno what's actually wrong with it. I'd try to clear any DHCP leases on the router, but I dunno how your router does that and stuff, as I have no access to it. Maybe you should just reset it to factory default settings, just keep in mind you'll have to reconfigure wireless security.

Or you could set an IP manually, like I said before. What's your current LAN IP? (use start > cmd > ipconfig to check)
It's probably in the 192.168.0.x range, or the 192.168.1.x range. Just change the x to a random number, like say, .100 for the laptop, and .101 for the other comp, etc.

For IP conflict resetting the modem will be a good solution, you can also try to open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /release," which dumps the automatic address it had, and then "ipconfig /renew," which gets a new address.You can check for the change in IP using Ip-details.com and if the problem stills persists try contacting your ISP.

You are replying to an extremely old thread ttk.
