Laptop keeps dropping CAT5 and/or Wireless connection
Getting really frustrated with this.
Laptop - Sony Vaio AW31 - 100gbit ethernet or (whatever) Wireless.
My laptop IS registered with my modem.
When using the internet, the line keeps dropping, whether i am using the wireless or ethernet connection. I have tried registration and other cat cables. Even tried using the same port (No1) as the main PC. The main PC NEVER EVER drops connection.
Why oh why is this happening.
Recently just learnt it is not just my Laptop. My misses (IBM THink pad) also drops connection (she is only using ethernet, every time it drops she needs to re establish her work secure connection). There is not regularity to this, can last only a few minutes, to a good few hours. Matters not what is being done, general browsing, BBC iPlayer, sometimes not even using internet and i notice the pop up say, connection lost.
It is driving my insane and I have found nothing on google.
Is anyone able to shed any light or ideas on this. I am using my laptop more and more (as the main PC has started playing up).
I had a previous main workstation PC, this was also fine when connected. Also, when the PS3 and Wii are connected, these never loose connection either. Just appears to be the laptops. Previously the router has been totally reset and re-established with no fix to this problem. SO the ISP has (understandably) said it is not the router, not their problem.
