Every few minutes, my PC will disconnect from the internet, reconnecting minutes later, then disconnecting again. No one else in my house seems to be experiencing this issue, leading me to believe it is exclusive to my computer. Occasionally, I will get an hour of connectivity before the cycle resumes. Sometimes, after reconnecting, I will get the "No Internet Access" error. When I run the WIndows Diagnostics Tool, it tells me it fixed an issue with my router or access point and gives me my few minutes.

ts'ing wireless is a giant pain lol... is there any other wireless device (aka cordless phone) near you're computer? how far are you from the router? what are the walls in the house made of? have you ever heard of powerline? do you have a smart phone? you could try checking the available channels in your area. I use wifi analyzer for that personally.

Router Type: Cisco-Linksys WRT120N
I have an iPhone, no other phones.
I'm not sure on the distance, only one wall in between though.
Not really sure what the walls are made of. Drywall, I guess.
Never heard of powerline.

EDIT: I checked, my drivers are up to date.

Doesnt seem to be te router, only one in the house too. Tried to reinstall drivers, didnt work.
Also, it doesnt matter if i use wireless or a LAN cable. It is so irritating..

same problem here. Anybody please figured out the solution?

My router is Huawei HG655b and it's NOT wireless. I have no clue about routers and networking in general so please, if you know the solution to my problem explain it in as simple terms as possible.

Thank you!
