Hi,
I've been looking all around but I think my case is something quite rare. I have A Sony Vaio Laptop that will disconnect from the internet every 5-10 minutes. The odd thing is it still says it's connected when I look in the Taskbar (Is it called that?) It will still say 54mbps with signal strength very good, but the internet (All browsers) And Skype which I use will go offline. This is defiantly something wrong with my Laptop because I have another Windows 7 laptop that has no problems and also used to own an iPod Touch which had no problems either. I have tried almost everything I can find on the web but none of it seems to work...
The only way to fix it seems to be to flick the wireless switch off and on and wait for it to reconnect. You can wait for 10-15 minutes and in the end it will reconnect showing a message that the wireless network is now connected (Even though it said it was connected before).
Any help would be muchly appreciated and I understand you will need more info so please just tell me what to do (I'm not a computer geek so explain it in simple terms please Thanks
