Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to this website an after seeing all the great help people have received on this website I decided to try it out. I've tried many other sites and no one seems to be able to find a solution. I've had my ASUS m11b desktop for a few years now. It's running Windows 8.1 and is using a d-link DWA-130 sub router as the computer did not come integrated with wifi. About half a year ago, my computer started to disconnect from the wifi as soon as I connected. Wasn't sure if it was because of the fairly new modem we got from Rogers which was an all in one modem/router. I'm not entirely sure if I had this problem before the new modem or after. I know that it's not the modems fault because we replaced it 2 times thinking it wasn't working. The problem is with my computer because all other devices in my house connect to the Internet with no problems but as soon as I connect with my specific ASUS computer it disrupts the wifi signal on the modem and the 5ghz and 2.5ghz lights go off and don't come back on unless I disconnect the usb router from my computer. When the signal goes down, no one in the area can detect our network anymore. So essentially this computer cannot be used while connected to the Internet anymore as it shuts down the network wirelessly and ruins it for everyone else in the house. Sometimes the computer doesn't shut down the network right away and it gives me some time on it before it inevitably shuts down the network. The temporary solution for this was to restart the modem every single time this happened. PLEASE HELP. Toms hardware is my last resort and I really don't want to pay to get this fixed by a pro. I've heard from people suggesting that it is a virus that infected my computer deeply. Like inside the bios deep. No known antivirus/antitrojan software has been able to detect it. I really need help guys
Thanks,
Aaron
