I doubt very much that Gnome is your problem. More likely Network
Manager or whatever you are using is your problem. Re-installing
Debian, and doing all the customization one usually does after a new
installation sounds to me like a lot of work for an unsure outcome.

I suspect that this is part of your problem. If you have access to your
DHCP and DNS servers, I suggest you change that.

If you are using Modem Manager, you can watch syslog to see what the
DHCP server gives you computer when it assigns an address.

tail -f /var/log/syslog

I'd look for differences between the two bands. They should be pretty
much the same.
