Wireless connection keeps cutting off

Hello all.


Im hoping you can all help me with a little problem that my laptop is having at the moment,when using the laptop the internet will all of a sudden stop working.

I have Bitdefender Antivirus and i have done a scan and nothing has shown up on that,i have also done a Malwarebytes scan and that was clean aswell.

I would appreciate any help that you all can give,i could be working on the laptop for more than an hour and then all of a sudden the wireless would stop working.

Any ideas?


Thankyou.

    My Acer lappy is the same though it seems to disconnect more often when on battery power.

    Sometimes it stays connected for several hours and other times it keeps disconnecting which gets very annoying.

    Probably something interfering with the signal.

    Logon to your router using a cable and you will be able to change the wireless channel. Select a different one and restart your router. (ask here if unsure how, and if you can give the model/make of your wireless router)

    Sounds like a neighbour's network or other wireless device may be causing interference.
