Internet keeps crashing
« on: May 28, 2014, 06:50:51 PM »
So, my internet keeps crashing after about 10-20 minutes consistently and it is really annoying. At first my skype calls will drop then my internet bar will say no internet access. The quickest way for me to get it back up and running is to click disconnect then reconnect. if I don't do that it will go back to normal eventually. I have looked up many different fixes but none of them have worked so far. I have a laptop with a wireless internet. Furthermore, no other device such as other computers/ Ipads are disconnecting, just my laptop. I don't think it's a location thing as my sister's computer works fine in my room and my laptops internet doesn't crash when I'm round other people's houses.
Here's what I have done:

  • Restarted my computer
  • Turned off my router, left for 10 minutes and switched it back on
  • I have had an IP renew done.
  • I have changed the channel of my router
  • I have tried to update my drivers, but there was no update.
  • I have used an Ethernet cable
  • I have disabled my firewall
  • There were a few other things I have tried but that was ages ago and I cannot remember

Anyway, this has been happening for ages and I really need this fixed. I was just recently playing Company of Heroes with some friends but I was constantly crashing. I hope someone can help.

Thanks for reading, and any replies are appreciated.

Upgrade your laptop dongle to 5GHZ and also your router.

A massive amount of signals are on the 2GHZ range (standard range) and often cause internet drops, performance degradation and even range reduction. Even if you don't have any other devices connected, mobile phone signals and neighboring WIFI signals will be interfering.

Thanks I'll give it a go later and report back whether it works or not.
