Can somebody help me please? Everything was working fine i just installed to windows 8 and had to download some new drivers for my usb dongle, but now The computer works and the internet works sometimes. The problem is every 10 minutes or so it disconnects the WHOLE router so everybody who is on it in the house loses connection. I know it's got something to do with the USB and this computers internet because it doesn't happen when this computer is offline. One time i got an error message saying conflict in IP addresses. But not recently.
Any help please? Thanks

My router is one provided by SKY.
and the dongle is a TP-Link wn322g v2

You probably HAVE a static IP, which is conflicting with another device that has a static IP, OR you have configured internet sharing in such a way that your dongle is trying to be a DHCP server, but that's your router's job, so the conflict kills your network. Make sure your connection is configured either as a DHCP CLIENT, or is using a static IP that does not conflict with any other device on your network.
