"No Internet Access" periodically, Excellent Wi-Fi signal..
Hello,
I don't know where I should start my search for answers to my problem, so I'll start here, in hopes that it may be something with Windows..
I'm sitting right beside my ARRIS TG1672G wireless modem. I've tried connecting via ethernet cord, and it just would not work.. but regardless, I have 5 bars of signal (Excellent) over Wi-Fi, connected through WPA2-Personal.. this NEVER changes. I don't receive any lag when playing World of Warcraft, and if I do, it doesnt affect my gameplay at all. However, periodically, and I'd say its almost every 30 minutes now, I disconnect from WoW, and when I go to my desktop, my Wi-Fi signal says Excellent, but now my connection displays the message "No Internet Access". I've found the quick fix for this, opening CMD prompt, and typing ipconfig /renew, and although I get the message that basically ipconfig cant work "without the devices plugged in" (which I've assumed just means because I'm on wireless) immediately my connection switches to the "loading icon" then comes back to display my 5 bar signal, and now no longer displaying this message, and restoring my access to the internet.
Given this information, how periodically it is, how I fix it, and the fact that I have an excellent, steady signal, what could be causing these frequent disconnect, and my connection "losing internet access"?
Thank you so much ahead of time, I just can't figure this out, and its becoming a nuisance, as I'm in groups with others, and I disconnect
