the ipconfig /all in post #1 - is showing a wireless connection
can we see a set of three ping tests

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Save the file to a USB flash drive or other removable media. Plug it into the working computer with internet access and copy the file and paste here.

Start> Run {search bar in Vista/W7}> type CMD to open a command prompt box
(A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen ):

For Windows 8

For your information only
these tests will check various stages of the connection, the first ping test, ping default gateway checks to see if you still have a connection to the router.
The next two Ping google.com & Ping 209.183.226.152 tests the connection to internet. google is to test by name and the ping test using a number is checking that a connection exists without DNS.
these tests then confirm if there is a dns issue on the connection.

that has a connection , and look OK

can you connect to the router with a cable and do a speed test www.speedtest.net and ping test www.pingtest.net
post the results back
AND also the speed you are paying the ISP for
Make sure nothing is downloading at the time of the tests

[hemantdeolasi]

Below are the test results after connecting the router cable -
1) http://www.speedtest.net/
Result - PING:15ms DOWNLOAD SPEED:25.07Mbps UPLOAD SPEED:3.58Mbps

2) http://www.pingtest.net/
Result - LINE QUALITY A MOS:4.39 PNG:18ms JITTER:3ms PACKET LOSS:0%
YOUR GRADE : An excellent result. Expect all internet applications to work very well assuming you have sufficient bandwidth.

3) http://speedtest.comcast.net/
Result - PING:13ms DOWNLOAD SPEED:25.07Mbps UPLOAD SPEED:3.52Mbps

Sometimes the internet work good in a day and sometimes it disconnect for few minutes and connect the internet automatically.

[etaf]

Sometimes the internet work good in a day and sometimes it disconnect for few minutes and connect the internet automatically.

so its not a speed issue then ?
you said in first post

Wireless connection is slow.

What speed are you paying the ISP for ?

with the connection by cable to the router - does it all work OK and no issues - trying to isolate your issue to a wireless issue
ALSO - is it a slow speed issue OR a disconnection issue OR both ?

[hemantdeolasi]

It is disconnection issue. Mostly the internet disconnect and when it connects automatically then the speed is slow for sometime.

[etaf]

how long before it reconnects
and just to see if you can please also answer my other questions

What speed are you paying the ISP for ?

with the connection by cable to the router - does it all work OK and no issues - trying to isolate your issue to a wireless issue

[hemantdeolasi]

What speed are you paying the ISP for? - We are paying for download speeds up to 20 Mbps and uploads up to 3 Mbps.
I access internet through wireless. I will try to access the internet through cable today.
I am trying to understand internet connection issue is related to my pc or not.
I usually note that internet connection during day time was slow & intermittent & at night (after resetting modem) it become fast.

[etaf]

I usually note that internet connection during day time was slow & intermittent & at night

can you do the tests when slow

also i think it would be worth updating the driver from the manufacturers website - whats the make and model of the PC

[hemantdeolasi]

Ok. I will take the test when the internet connection will be slow. I am using DELL XPS 15z laptop Core i5-2430M processor (2.40 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 to 2.90 GHz) Windows 7 64-Bit.

[etaf]

whats the service tag number on the PC - should be able to use that info on the dell support site to update the driver

[hemantdeolasi]

Now the internet connection is slow means it is continuously connecting and disconnecting after 4-5 minutes and I done the test by connecting the internet cable to laptop. The results are -
1) http://www.speedtest.net/
Result - PING:15ms DOWNLOAD SPEED:25.06Mbps UPLOAD SPEED:3.64Mbps

2) http://www.pingtest.net/
Result - LINE QUALITY A MOS:4.39 PNG:20ms JITTER:3ms PACKET LOSS:0%
YOUR GRADE : An excellent result. Expect all internet applications to work very well assuming you have sufficient bandwidth.

3) http://speedtest.comcast.net/
Result - PING:19ms DOWNLOAD SPEED:25.07Mbps UPLOAD SPEED:3.64Mbps

Service Tag No. is 84D7TQ1

[etaf]

does not seem to be a wireless driver on the dell site
have you tried going into device manager and right click on the wireless adapter and update?

[Couriant]

If you are using the Arris defaults for wireless, try doing a factory reset.
