Hello, my problem is very annoying and I have not yet found help to it. I have a WLAN 3mbps internet connection in my cellphone that I use with my PC. I play MMO games and surf the net quite a lot. After 3 months usage I have started to notice a problem: randomly (many times a day) the connection somehow drops and I cannot access any websites ("Chrome couldn't connect to youtube.com" for example). Simply I cannot do anything that includes internet with my PC, but however with my cellphone that is in the same room I can access any website normally ( and they basically use the same connection). For the 3 months this never happened, but now it has started happening more and more. The connection drops more often and for longer times. (started as timeouts, now the connect losses last 5-10mins).
I use windows 7 (32bit). My phone/pc are away from distraction causing devices such as microwave. No one else in my family uses this same connection and I don't even have neighbours who use it. I've even contacted my internet provider and they say there are no fails in the connection, so it must be in my pc. I've reinstalled and updated my network adapter drivers and changed my NIC. As a side note, the connecion started as fast as it should be, but now it lurks around 0,5-1mbps. That doesn't bother me, but I just want a stable connection. Also yes I know WLAN isn't good for playing games but it's really the only option I got. I don't know if it's important, but my PC is 3 years old and phone 4 months.
I appreciate any help, hopefully someone knows what's wrong. I'll gladly answer more specific questions. Thanks in advance!
