lately, starting about 3 days ago, i've been having problems with the internet on this computer. It says I have a strong signal/connection but i know the internet is cutting out because when i play my games people are running in place or i disconnect from the game. i have an alienware x51, and my warranty ran out last week (had this computer close to a year now)

There are several things you can try:
download the drivers for your WAN chip here:http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=2jdfm&fileId=3080883202 and try re-installing them.

If that doesnt work, buy a new WAN card
