No connection to Router(Lan,Wan) after installing AVG 2016 and/or Updating windows

0

Well..i know there have been questions like this one all over su but none have an actual solution.. so ill just give a cleaner explanation of what i did and how i did it..

Installed clean w7 Ultimate x64 on my system last night and decided to try ClamWin and Sentinel for a few hours..Though i liked the minimal resource hook and interaction of the two,i have enough resources to run AVG even on a HDD(as opposed to SSD which gives u a NULL experience of hooks) and so i Updated Windows (177 updates at the time,all optional Net.Framework and security updates as i have dev key to windows7).After installing the windows updates i installed AVG 2016 and entered the key to upgrade to a licensed version..No more than 40-50% of the install,i lost my internet(lan) connection,my android wifi connection and everyone in the house lost their wifi also(towards the router on Lan1 with the station that i installed AVG on)...Only tried uninstalling and installing over and over again...(as im writting this,im installing again) Will try answer that says to uncheck network settings that involve AVG!

1Disable AVG's capability to spy on your HTTPS traffic and you likely will solve you problem. – Ramhound – 2015-11-04T17:40:51.407

I can't imagine how installing AVG on your computer would take out every wireless connection on the network ... – DavidPostill – 2015-11-04T17:41:44.327

@DavidPostill - I can't. Which tells me multiple things are going on. Of course I think AVG is the worst program every created because of a personal experience I have with it. So I might not be the best person to even read this question, because my immediate thought, is blame AVG for the problems because ( honestly it likely is the reason ). – Ramhound – 2015-11-04T17:44:01.527

@Ramhound Yeah, agreed. I replaced it with Avast a good few years ago ;) – DavidPostill – 2015-11-04T17:45:14.927

Well i would give up on AVG if it wasnt the best interactive AV with a good UI...Haven't used Avast ever,back in the old days i had a kaspersky but at the time resources it needed were galactic compared to my 512 ram haha!! – Kaiyum Wonderer – 2015-11-05T14:01:26.377

Took time and reading but it did happen!

Who could ever imagine something like that happening...But also who could think about a network filter breaching so hard into the system that it actually blocks traffic from and to the router (since i have admin rights/telnet/webUI for the router on C:/)

The Answer/Solution Network And Sharing Center > Open all/selected/current connection properties and DEselect Avg Network Filter > Wait for Connections/Adapters to become responsive again and Restart Pc

Problem Solved !!
