Win 10 Losing Internet when in sleep mode and returns with a 169.254.xx.xx
This started happening after win 10 install. When computer wakes I usually have a yellow triangle over the monitor with pitch fork icon. ipconfig shows 169.254.xx.xx. Release and renew don't work and only way to reconnect to internet is to recycle modem. TW says everything is perfect on their part, but did replace the Arris modem router combo. It happened every time before, now only happens most of the time.
Computer is home made with Asus MB and AMD Chip and 64 GB memory (don't think it is a shortage of memory issue)
Computer is hard wired to modem/router
Realtek controller removed, reinstalled and updated many times
ipconfig switches don't release or renew ip
have tried all the ports on router and changed cables
Power settings have been changed to to give and take away control with not change in behavior
browser had no impact
Any other ideas?
There has to be someone else out there with same issue, but I am having trouble finding any solutions to this that apply to my exact issues.
Thanks ahead of time for help. I might be slow to respond after I leave my computer as i broke my ankle and it is still a pain to get around.

Driver didn't work, I have have not touched the DHCP setting on Arris. I will try to disable WiFi and see if that helps.
Thanks, but system not sleeping seem an extreme fix.

It could be the base computer is not Windows 10 compliant. Let us know about disabling Wi-Fi
What about BIOS, Chipset as suggested and also look for power management drivers (system driver)
If nothing works, you may need to avoid suspend.

Arnold and John,
I just left for a few hours and all was good. My setting are correct on nic, see attached.
TW says this has to be in my system, but lack of others having same issue is confusing.

two restarts with dreaded yellow triangle and 169.254.xx.xx

It seems longer computer is asleep, less chance of it waking up without yellow triangle of frustration...
The issue is how DHCP works.
when computer goes to sleep it maintains the IP/DNS information.
When it wakes up, it might see that the lease expired or it automatically tries to check on its status. The reason for the yellow triagle could be that the system tries to renegotiate the IP before the wireless device is "active" meaning when the DHCP process was being hndled the wifi device was not ready to transmit/receive.
running a repair disabling the wifi and reenabling it should resolve the issue with the status.

i hardwired, and tried all your suggestions including ipconfig /renew and /release and nothing.

OK Problem solved! Reading both your comments got me got me to the solution. I had an Apply Time capsule hardwired to router. I have had WAPs plugged into other WAPS with no issue, but for some reason with the ATC it was confusing the primary router. I have to leave it on, or it doesn't do backup on macbook. I had to change bridged mode to off and all was good. So I will split points between you both if that is OK?
Thanks for the update and so then please close as you wish. No problem.

Just came to close and it is doing it again. Going to plug time capsule. This is crazy!
ASKER
not as hopeful as I was as the driver date is the same as one I had previously installed.
Will update later.
