Hey guys, I'm having a strange wireless problem. I just got internet about 2 weeks ago and my internet periodically stops working, but I remain connected to the internet. I've been having this issue since it was installed. My connection shows that I have full bars and that I am connected to the internet but I can't search anything in a browser when it stops working. However, if I have Utorrent running, it continues to download just fine, but I can't search anything unless I stop/exit Utorrent and unplug/replug in my wireless adapter. I've tried different browsers as well. This doesn't just happen when I open Utorrent. It happens randomly and pretty often on its own and only starts working again when I unplug/replug my wireless adapter. I'm on a network with about 8 devices, some are computers and some are phones, and nobody else has the same issue as me. I checked in my router settings and couldn't find an IP conflict. Everyone has a separate IPs assigned. I've tried disabling my windows firewall as well as my router's firewall and that hasn't helped any. I have problems connecting to most games as well. I can usually log in, but I can't join any games. Any one have any idea what could be the problem?

Here are my specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
Router: ARRIS model: NVG589
ISP: AT&T
Devices: 8 total devices. 3 currently connected.
Error messages: The only error message I've received is from trying to connect to a game. "Unable to connect to the server. If you have a firewall, it may be blocking the connection."
PC specs:
ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 AM3
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb Quad-Core
Radeon HD 7870
