Hello all, whenever I am on my computer it seems to disconnect at random times. At first I thought it's because my old internet network had the same name and password but upon deleting the network and reconnecting it still didn't work. These disconnections are strange though because all my internet using programs will stop but when I look at my internet, it says I still have signal. Anyone have any clue how to fix it? Would be greatly appreciated!

Also the disconnections are completely random and can range from 20 disconnections within 5 minutes, to 1 disconnection over the entire day. And when it does disconnect I have to manually go to my internet connections and disconnect, then reconnect to my internet.

Sounds like a defect cable, if just 1 of the 8 little wires inside a lan cable is broken your internet will be unstable. So start by checking the cable in the router
