Network Adapter Resets To Public

hi, Im having an issue were the network adapter resets to public. Not sure why. If the network is on anything but trusted then i get lag spikes every couple minutes. Get them when watching streams, playing online games or downloading. The streams will freeze then resume and i will have missed a small part, downloads go down to 0/kbs, and in the online games I get rubber banding. Is there a way you could permanently have the network adapter stay on public ? It seems odd to me that I get these lag spikes on say, a home/office setting.


Any help is appreciated.


Thanks.

    thanks mitza, I will try that.


    What does it mean to have the adapter on trusted ? Why would i be getting lag spikes on the other settings ?

    Hello jev-11,


    For each network connection you can configure special trusted or untrusted zones.


    A trusted zone is a device that you fully trust, for example a computer or a printer.


    All traffic between your computer and a trusted device is allowed. To share resources


    with specific computers in an unsecured wireless network, add them as allowed


    computers.


    An untrusted zone is a device that you do not want to communicate with your


    computer at all.


    TRUSTED Disable the firewall for the respective adapter.


    HOME/OFFICE Allow all traffic between your computer and computers in


    the local network.


    PUBLIC All traffic is filtered.


    UNTRUSTED Completely block network and Internet traffic through the


    respective adapter.
