ISP: Century Link
Modem: Qwest Actiontec q1000
Wireless card: TP-Link Wirless 300Mbps Model: TL-WN881ND
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
I've been dealing with this for a few months now, almost everyday.
The internet randomly disconnects, usually how it happens is when I'm traveling pages, i notice it's taking a while to load, and while it appears to be loading while it's really not, or just while I'm sitting on a page for a while (It just happened while typing this), a yellow warning sign pops up over the internet signal on the tool bar, and when you open the list of networks, it still says that it is connected to mine but says
"No Internet access", but all I have to do is Disconnect and then Reconnect very quickly and then it's back and it then this repeats over and over. The intensity of how frequent it disconnects varies in certain times on certain days. For example, while it's usually just a few minutes, 2 nights ago It was literally 30-40 seconds. Again, having to disconnect and reconnect every time. There are such thing, though very rare days where it doesn't happen at all. I think I need to mention most usually when the internet comes out, Google Chrome gives me a page saying "Starting DNS Probe" and then tells be that the "DNS Probe" failed. Sometimes, but not every, I've had good timing to open up the network list when the Internet was starting to cut and my connection would say "Limited Access" until it completely loses access.
I use to think maybe it was just bandwidth consumption, because 'some' of those pacific times when it was really bad was when people where streaming stuff, except it wasn't bad every time everybody was streaming something. And I think it's been bad before on days where no one else is doing much. I also months ago moved my PC to the other side of my room which is small, but from what I remember I might of had this issue in it's original spot, not I don't 100 percent remember though.
Also my signal as a standard is always either 3 or 4 bars out of 5.
We don't have this exact issue with any other internet devices, even though every once in a while we'll have a little bit of trouble connecting due to something. I also tried out a Linux desktop distro (Ubuntu) for a little while and this issue never occurred but I 'Think' I sensed that there were points where the internet was all the sudden slower but only for a few seconds. When I installed Windows 7 again after trying Linux the issue returned and it still has not gone away.
Anybody have any idea what's going on? I hope to get this figured out, because I need to know if it's the card or not before me and my friends play on planned WLAN parties.
I've done a tiny bit of modem configuration inexperienced to port forward to start servers on certain games, so anyone could give suggestions with directions on configurations.
