After years of my laptop running flawlessly, I've started having major problems connecting to my router/the internet.
I noticed the problems started happening after I did a huge 14gb download..
My computer constantly but randomly disconnects for random intervals of time. If I'm lucky it'll connect just fine, but once it disconnects, it'll most likely not work for quite some time.
The other computers/cellphones/etc aren't having any problems with connecting, and it's only my laptop.
Sometimes it seems to go on a "Identifying...(Name) No internet access" loop, or it connects to the router, but I get no internet access. And whenever I troubleshoot it, it never really helps anything, and I never get a consistent reason as to why it isn't working.
The laptop is an Asus running Windows 7..
