I have a problem that has been puzzling and annoying me very much for the past week or so. I have no problem connecting to the network but at random times I lose connection to the internet for a few seconds or a few minuites. I never lose connection to the network though. My playstation 3 has a wired connection directly to the modem as does the computer in the living room, and those units never lose connection. How ever my computer in my room along with my xbox 360, which is also in my room, loses connection wirelessly. My xbox and this computer DO NOT have this problem at other people houses so I'm thinking it must be my router (Linksys E1000). The wireless adapter I have on my computer is a Linksys WMP600N Dual Band. Both the router and my wireless card have the lastest firmware and I have also tried giving my computer a static IP along with the Xbox and forwarding the ports for it. Still does not work for me. I am able to connect to my neighbors internet which has no problems with connection other than the fact that its laggy since i am far from their router. I really dont want to go out and buy a new router so any help anyone could give me would be awesome!
you could be having a IP conflict.
from reading about routers a little, is seems some home routers start having issues like this when a lot of devices are using it.
this could also be a issue with your ISP (internet service provider) and not your network or router.
I've had this same issue 3 times in the past. every time the phone company found a wiring issue somewhere. It would be working one min and not the next.
the last time (just a few weeks ago) they came out and found a bad line to my house. I have a new house and I guess the line was of poor quality that got used.
every time I had that issue the phone company put in a new line and everything went back to working properly every time.
