Question

My computer won't stay online no longer than 10 minutes then cuts off. Then I have to reconnect. What could be wrong?

Answer 1

try resetting your router, install new drivers for ur wireless card, and if nothing works try using a physical cable to connect to the router

Answer 2

Either a virus problem or an unstable connection due to ISP server issues. It could even be something as simple as a defective connector (if you're on DSL / cable) or loose wires. On a wi-fi network, it could be a range problem if you're away from the router or hub.

Answer 3

check the electric connection and the wiring

Answer 4

If you are using a dialup connection make sure you don't have call waiting enabled by using *70 before dialing your number. You may also have a problem with your phone line and may need to have the phone company test it. You may also have a faulty modem within your computer. You can get a new one for as little as $15 so if you can install it yourself it may be worth testing.



If you have DSL or Cable check your IP address and its lease time while you are connected and after you get disconnected. Click on Start, then Run and type cmd and click Ok. Then type ipconfig /all and see what your IP address, DNS server and lease time is. Compare the before and after results.



If you are using a router with your DSL/Cable modem try to bypass it and plug directly into the modem and reboot to see if the router is dropping the connection. If you still lose the connection reboot the modem rather than the computer to see if you get back online. If so then it’s most likely a problem with your DSL/Cable modem.
