Hi. So here's the story. Whenever I'm using this laptop, it the internet would just stop working. Pages in mid-loading do not load, any windows 7 gadget using the internet cannot use it, anything site I try to go to will not load. I have tested this on multiple browsers, none load. This problem lasts for maybe 3-5 minutes, then goes away. It comes back randomly. I thought it was my router at first, but every other computer and wifi-enabled device works fine. My other pc loads perfectly, my brother's pc loads perfectly, as well as my mom's. The icon in the tray shows full bars and when I try to troubleshoot, Windows reports that everything is fine. I have singled out the problem to this computer. It has to be this laptop. I doubt it's a virus, since I'm not that stupid as to get one. Could it maybe be a faulty wireless card?
Also, during these periods of no internet, I try accessing my router's interface (192.168.1.1), and it also will not load. What are the possibilities as to why this is not working? Again, this is random, but when it occurs, I quickly test everything else, which is how I got my results. I want to try using an Ubuntu CD and use the internet for a while there, but the problem may or may not replicate. I have no idea what can trigger this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
