Loss of Connection

Wingnut81 · Mar 27, 2014

I am using a Levono laptop (Windows 8)

My problem is this: My laptop says it is connected to the Wi-Fi network, but I am not able to access the internet via web browser. I have asked a member of my household if their internet is working and it is, just not mine.

I tried troubleshooting problems but none were found. So i checked my networks and noticed something odd. I see a mobile phone there, as soon as it disappears, my internet is back up again. Is this an intruder? I am a bit concerned about this as I do not have a mobile phone connected as a network. I don't even use a mobile phone to connect to the internet. The mobile phone changes each time. At the moment the properties say:

C1905_1274-5523
Manufacturer: Sony
Model: C1905
Model number: C1905
Mac address: 1c:7b:21:e2:f3:26

There are other subjects but they all say unavailable next to them.

I do not understand what this is and there is no option to remove it as a network. Could this possibly be a Trojan virus or am I jumping to conclusions.

I really hope someone can help or knows what this is and how to solve it.

Worried Wingnut here!

When you go to setttings and network to list availible networks, do you see the phone there?

Do you see the phone in devices and printers?

It is not there now, but when my internet goes down and I go to settings and available networks, the phone is there but the name of it changes. The last time before I got this one it said Hawuie or something like that.

I just checked devices and printers and the phone is not there. Next time the internet goes down I will check again to see if it is!

Ok what I am wondering if happened is if maybee by accident you attempted to connect to the phone hotspot and windows put that has a higher prioriety connection. Thus when the connection comes online windows automatically switches to that network from the one you are wanting to be on.

My mum does use a phone for the internet but she said it does not go through our broadband, its on a different network. My mobile is not set up for the internet at all. So I know its not that. Is there a way I can change the priority settings for the network or have a look to see what they are set to?
