When my laptop leaves my house or is turned off for an extended amount of time, it is very hard to connect back and stay connected to the internet.

When i do get a connection, it does not last long at all. Sometimes i will get a message about my adapter being incompatable with my network. AFter diagnosing the problem, i connect but, again, not for very long.

This occurs in both linux and windows.

This problem is usually fixed with a reset of the modem, however, it does not seem to be working in this instance.
