Wifi Problem - Vexykin - 09-18-2013
Now, i've had this problem over several months now.
The problem: Wifi connection is unstable and from time to time (Every ca. ~ 5-15 minutes) it drops out and reconnects.
I myself think it's not caused by the router since i've lived in three different places when this problem has occured and they all had 3 different routers (Though, they were the same models of Thomson routers)
Now, others who also use wifi don't seem to be having the same problem, only i am who freaks out about it.
And also recently i've noticed my Wifi bandwitdh behaves strange according to this UTorrent graph and it is always when i DL something.

My System specs (If they help):
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64bit
RAM: 8 GB
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7 2670QM Cpu @2.2Ghz 8 Cores
Video: Nvidia 520MX 1GB, and Intel integrated graphics
Thank you,
Vex

That's what you get for pirating videogames.

Not really helping here actually.

What about the receiver?
RE: Wifi Problem - Vexykin - 09-18-2013
You mean my built in Wifi receiver?
I thought it might be problematic, but before i take my computer to repair, maybe it's a software problem?
I'm a total noob when it comes to computer troubleshooting
EDIT: I however did a troubleshooting in Control panel somewhere and specifically troubleshooted the Wireless hardware and just in case all of the other network adapters too, but windows couldn't identify the problem

Try installing updated drivers for your model of computer and wireless adapter.

Connect to another router of a friend or something, see what happens.
RE: Wifi Problem - Vexykin - 09-18-2013
@Bo! Done that. No effect
@SeaFalcon I've already tested my connection over 3 different routers, though the exact same models, but nobody else on the routers have had such a problem ever

use an external Wi-fi reciver , USB ones if available. if it worked....perhaps your wi-fi is facing some malfunctions.

This.
There are only few qualitative Wi-Fi adapters on the market. Also there are like only 3 fims doing it right with different results:
Broadcom, Qualcomm Atheros and Intel. Intel so far offers the best. I bet you have some shitty cheap model Broadcom or Atheros.
My girl ancient XPS had Broadcom card was not only weak but it was creating additional heat, and that's on Premium class Laptop- everyone is trying to safe from the small things nowadays. After replacing it with the Centrino Ultimate things changed drastically.
Before buying open your PC and check if you use half slot cart or full slot one, if you use full slot card you would need to buy half slot mini PCIE adapter:

You does need to be genius in order to replace your Wi-FI card. Most of the laptops have additional ,easy accessible under the laptop, slot for the PCIE cards. You need to unscrew 4 screws in order to open it, then you have like 4 more for the Card and you need to connect the antennas but it is quite easy thing, just be careful with the static electricity and check guides in the net before.
