The problem is only on my own computer- my router/modem stays connected the whole time and everyone else's connection stays too.
Whenever I browse the internet (e.g. on forums, watching streams/vids) my connection to the internet will drop after a few mins. Pages will say there is no connection etc.
Every time, to reconnect the ONLY THING I have to do is right click on my router, disconnect and reconnect and instantly my internet is connected again (within seconds).
It is also instantly fixed when I unplug my wireless adapter and plug it back in (within seconds again).
The strange thing is that I can be online gaming on steam for several hours (literally 6 hours straight) with no disconnects, but when i open a browser it will disconnect for sure, sometimes after a matter of 2-3 mins and sometimes after 30, but it will.
It seems most noticeable when i'm either watching long videos or watching streams on twitch.
I have a good computer (6gb ddr3, i7 950 etc.) and fibre optic 55Mb internet, so I don't think it's being limited by those at all. I have also performed a full scan of my computer with avast and nothing was found.
key points:
pretty much only happens when i'm using a web browser
disconnect only happens to my computer
i can instantly reconnect by simply unplugging/replugging my adapter or disconnecting/reconnecting.. so my router is not losing connection but i am.
What can i do?
it's either my computer or my network adapter i think, please help me!
