My laptop has this problem where when i brows the internet it randomly disconnecte's from the WiFi connection for no app

[alin buta]

i go to Network and sharing center and it says there's no connection. so i troubleshoot it and its says at the end that it fixed: "Problem with wirelesses adapter or access point" this happens every 5-10 mins and its really annoying. The wierd thing is that if im watching a video while it disconects the video still plays till the end!!!! PlS HELP ME!!!. I know its Just me because when i go to my other pc it is fine. same with my brothers pc its just me.










This started happening a few days ago.

It isn't random. What is likely happening is "lost" packets. For a wireless connection, this can happen for several reasons, interference from other sources, heavy traffic (several users), neighbors using their wireless and low signal strength. It all has to do with how a wireless access point works. Wireless is a party line. Everyone on wireless has a "push to talk" walkie talkie. You can talk or listen but not both at the same time. When you want to talk, you listen first and if the line is clear, you push to talk and talk (send data). No problem. If the line is busy, you wait until the line is clear and then you push to talk and send data. Again, no problem. The problem arises when someone else is waiting because the line is busy. When the line clears, both of you (all of those waiting) push to talk and interfere with each other and neither gets through. So you wait for an acknowledge packet and not getting one after a timeout period, you do it again, and so does the other guy so you collide a 2nd time. This goes on until one of you keys up while the other is still listening and takes the floor forcing the other to wait again. This time is all "lost" time when no data moves. If enough packets are "lost" your wireless access point thinks the connection is broken and disconnects. As for the video, that is playing from a buffer or cache, NOT in real time from the data pipe. This whole thing of traffic slowdown is called "the party line effect". The same effect can be seen on cable broadband since the network works exactly like wireless, but using a wire to carry the radio signals. The more users on the party line, the slower everyone goes. If there are 10 users on the cable that runs from house to house, to house, you get 1/10th (10%) the time of the ISP transmitter. The ISP transmitter can only talk to one user at a time. If there are 100 users you get 1/100th (1%) of your ISP's talk time. Which is why the slowdown increases with the number of users. Wireless is a smaller version of cable broadband. The wireless access point can only talk to one connection (user) at a time and slows down as the number of users increases. Your neighbors count since if they are talking you have to wait for the line to clear before you can talk just as they have to wait for you. Equal opportunity misery and molasses in January... Go back to hardwire instead of wireless and the party line effect in your house will be gone. You can't do anything about cable broadband and THAT slowdown from the party line effect. I stopped using wireless years ago, when my neighbors started using it. It worked reasonably well until the neighbors stepped in with their wireless networks. The convenience of no wire was not worth the headache caused by the party line effect. The last time I checked, there were 7 other wireless networks around me that I could "hear".
