Hi guys,

I'm using my laptop as a wifi repeater for my mobile phone, by setting up a shared internet connection. (I created a scheduled task to start sharing when my wifi connects to my router at home.) It all just works fine but after 15 minutes or so, this time varies, i can't get any webpage to load. Or any other internet requiring service. Not on my phone, nor on my laptop. But as soon as i disable the shared network, everything works again. I'm getting really tired of constantly disabling and enabling it again, but i can't think of a possible cause/solution. Any idea is welcome.
thanks in advance

Thanks!
There was a good chance this would be the problem, but unfortunately it's(probably) not.
All parameters and options are set in such a way that it couldn't cause it to shut down.

Why are you running your cellphone via the computer instead of directly to the router if i may ask?

Because my phone doesn't have a strong wifi antenna and can't get a decent signal from my router, but my laptop can. So i use my laptop as a wifi repeater for my phone.
