Networking Problems (Unidentified Network)

Tried EVERYTHING.
Have an identical setup to my dad, except I have a GTX 660 Ti.
I have TWO identical computers, so ask me questions (both custom built).
So here's the LOOOOOOOOOOOONG story short.
Internet has been having issues lately, getting unidentified network on one computer.
Problem is, I have an IDENTICALLY built computer with no problems.
Here are the specs that matter:
GA-Z77X-UD3H Motherboard (on both)
i5-3570K (if that matters)
Both are using the AR8161 Atheros LAN chip

One is getting unidentified network.
Software fixes have gotten me nowhere.
So there are two things that could be screwing it up.

1) Pando Media Booster
Installed as my first application, installed along with League of Legends.

2) Bonjour
Installed along with iTunes.

I don't know which is the culprit, and what is the problem, and how to fix it.
I've tried fixing it, and there is no possible fix within my knowledge.
It's been three weeks or so since the internet was working fine.
I've since replaced my computer, my router, and my modem.
All of them resulted in no fix. So I've busted around a grand with nothing to show for it.
My parents are a bit edgy because of that.
I have a NetGear R4500 (identical to WNDR4500), a SB6121 Cable Modem, and the chipset named above.

My dad also has iTunes installed with zero problems, leading me to believe that Pando Media Booster may be the culprit of this.

I get the errors:
1) 'Ethernet' does not have a valid gateway IP (or along those lines).
2) Some DHCP error, forget the exact line.

I've attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the driver of the Atheros chip, yet I accidentally tried shutting it off in the middle, and now it's stuck on "Windows is uninstalling the driver of this device. (Code 21)", on the device manager.

I hate to suggest a search, but I think that the unidentified network thing has a variety of sources. So, how about googling on unidentified network? And, you could try unidentified network Windows 8. I hope you find your solution. This issue often is difficult to resolve.

The Bonjour problem can go either way, sometimes it wrecks havoc on Windows systems, other times it causes no problem.

Since it doesn't really do anything it's best to uninstall it because it's actually famous for causing the Unidentified Network problem.

Pretty much any secondary network interface can also cause this problem to occur so it's best to disable any secondary network interfaces until the problem is solved.

Other possible causes of this problem are covered in the link below, there is also good info in the comments section in the link.

If you can post a screen shot of the ipconfig/all from this machine it would be helpful. :)

Oh yeah, at times the Internet will just work, and other times it won't.
Like I will sometimes start it up and it will be working then all of a sudden the Internet will just die and won't work for up to like days.

Try uninstalling league of legends, panda and bonjour, is there a third party anti virus or firewall installed?

You may need to reinstall them one at a time then test for connectivity over a period of time.

I have uninstalled Pando and Bonjour as of now, still having connectivity issues.
I will try uninstalling League of Legends now.
There are no third party antiviruses or firewalls installed.

Have you tried the Gigabyte website for the latest drivers and bios updates?

I'm sure you have been to Windows update center?

Yup. I updated my network drivers to no avail (except a 10 minute window where I could access the internet).
Should I try the BIOS update?
Because this was happening on my old computer, but none of the new computers or other devices were affected.
Only MY new computer is affected >.<.

Every looks normal here, I can't imaging why your connection is going off and on again but it's certainly not normal.

Yes that would present some problems for Windows update.

It's near impossible to diagnose problems which are intermittent, but normally going to the board manufacture's web site and obtaining the latest drivers and bios updates is good course of action though you may need to use another machine to download the updates.

How is it that my dad's computer is alright when mine isn't though?
I just really do not understand that part.

How about trying a system restore back to before the problem began. If you have no luck, then you could try a system refresh or a system reset

Yes that is strange, it seems that somehow the 660Ti is the only difference between the two machines so maybe try another graphics card and see if anything changes.

I had an old PC that I thought the mobo was bad, which had the problem, and since the chipset was no longer in production, I built a new PC.
Which has the same problem as the old one...
Upon formatting my drive, the same problem was occurring.

There were only two parts that I reused from my old system. My 2tb caviar green (WD), and my 660ti. I'm going to try and take the 660ti out and just use built in graphics.
