Hi, Resetting your network adapters means that their configuration will go back to their default state. Here in this article, I will show the whole process in two ways. One is using command prompt which can be used to reset any individual network adapter and another one process is the easiest techniques that can be processed with just a few clicks. Now I am going to share a list of CMD commands that you can use to reset network adapter on windows 10. I think this process should work on other windows operating systems too.

Sometimes our browser stuck or unable to browse any website without any reason after connecting on the net perfectly. Most of the time these CMD commands easily solve those odd behaviors of your network adapter related to routing and DNS.

Before you start, go through all your network settings and note them down so you need to set them in later.

First of all, Open the Command Prompt in Windows (Run as administrator). This should be in the start menu of your windows.
