Hotel Internet Keeps Dropping Fix?

Hotel Internet Keeps Dropping Fix?
Today (12-21-13), I just got to a condo we will be staying at for the next week. I was happy to know they had wi-fi, but I was instantly dissatisfied as soon as we got here. I connected, and the internet keeps dropping out, WITHOUT completely disconnecting me. I am trying to play different games to keep me company but am unable to because of this. Even watching a Youtube video nevermind Netflix is difficult. How do I fix this?

Additional Details: Windows 7, full connection bars, IPv6 Connectivity: No Internet Access

Thank you in advance!

Here's a simple little thing you can do to increase your bandwidth by at least 20%.
1.) log on as Administrator.
2.) start - run - type gpedit.msc
3.) expand "local computer policy"
4.) then expand "administrative templates"
5.) then expand "network branch"
6.) Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler"
7.) on right window double click "limit reservable bandwidth"
8.) on setting tab check the "enabled"
9.) change "Bandwidth limit %" to 0
You're done.It would be a good idea to reboot after this.

Sometimes it's necessary to have a WiFi booster for your computer. In areas where hotels, restaurants and your case, a condo are located near each other, their WiFi signal will be picked up by many people who aren't actually located at your particular location. When this happens, and a large number of people are attempting to use the internet at the same time, the signals become weak and are dropped. I was in a hotel last summer that had WiFi, and so did several other hotels in the immediate area that kept popping up on my screen. I imagine that a couple other motels didn't have WiFi service, but their customers were using the surrounding hotels WiFi services, likely overloading the systems causing signal problems. There are signal boosters that can be plugged into a usb port that gain signal strength.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is a Laptop and you have never made the wireless a permanent connection and randomly you have connections and then don't have connections. All Laptops are Limited Access by default until you make them a permanent connection. You can't trouble shoot a computer that uses Limited Access because there is nothing wrong. Open menu, network connections, find the wireless and open it's properties and enable the wireless, click apply or OK if it is there. Close the menus and reboot.
