Check to see if the internet connection itself on the server computer where the modem / connection to the internet is located, and make sure it is not set to cut off after 4 mins or when no longer needed. Power management also can be the cause, such as turn the Hard disk after so many minutes etc. The problem is likely to be set somewhere in a similar manner.

Good Luck

Two possible culprits: wireless phones and neighboring wifi APs/routers.

Changing the channel on your router might help. Moving the router or using directional antennas might help, too.

Buy the most huge stupidly ridiculous antenna you can find and place it in the sky. this will gt 1000% connected

go on ebay and buy a yagi 19dbi antenna or go to maplins and buy a hawkings 15dbi antenna.

If the Antenna on the Router is detachable replace it with a higher gain Antenna and do the same the PCI card on the desktop, the laptop might be a bit tricky although they are N-range PCMCIA cards you can use with a good coverage,

Good Luck
