Hi!

I'm pretty desperate. I'd really appreciate any help you could provide.
My internet connection drops randomly as often as every 30 seconds or, when in luck, every 20 minutes. My network is set with a ZyXEL p-600 series modem and a Wireless Cisco Linsys EA2700 router. I've recently tried connecting directly to the modem and it seems to get worse (in earlier attempts it got better). Also, some times it seems like more than one computer in the household have this issue, but more often than not it's only affecting my computer. My PC is a SAGER notebook that has a Killer Wireless-N 1103 Network Adapter. I've been having this problem for months now and I haven't been able to isolate the issue.
Half the time it shows limited access to the network and the other half it would seem like the network connection is fine, except nothing requiring an internet connection works.
Today I went into the Linksys smart WI-FI program to check on my router settings but got kicked out several times due to the loss of internet connection.
I suspected it's a problem with my PC most of the times, mixed with some occasional router issues. I'm not sure what to believe anymore.

Please help.

I think I solved it. I reset and installed the router again, and then disabled the Wireless Network Connection 2 (Microsoft Virtual WIFI Miniport Adapter), and that got me a steadier connection, so far.
