wifi works, except when using "connect automatically

[willishutch]

Hoping maybe someone here can help me figure out how to fix this problem. I can connect to wifi, but if I choose the "connect automatically" option, the next time I reboot my system or wake it from sleep, it will say that it's connected to the internet in the wifi panel, but my browser will not load pages and steam will not connect until I manually disconnect fro the network and reconnect. This is a minor annoyance, but it has been going on too long and I've decided to fix it, but can't find any information about this specific problem. I am running Windows 10 with all the latest updates and using a USB wifi adapter. I have included a picture with the driver information for the wifi adapter. I am also using a Centurylink ZyXEL modem/router model pk5001z. If anyone has any ideas about how I can fix this problem, your help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if there's any potentially relevant information that I have left out.

you are using the driver built in to windows... try downloading the driver from the manufacturer website and see if it works fine then,,
