I did talk about my VPN connection but the ISP support person did not say anything about the time out quotas. I did not ask that question and may ask it next time I talk to them. Lloyd2112: Would 15Mbps DSL down be considered adequate? That is a good question. How would I find out the range of IP for my home network? would it be stored in the router? When I do sit down to start work the globe icon is there and then I have to restart the router. I sign in and just do other things since I am at home. I open up my work laptop and see that it has wifi. I dont think that would be reasonable for me as I live alone and and am the only one that uses the internet.ĭZee: The problem seems to happen even before I connect to the VPN. I did however install support assist and download all the recommended drivers and I will check today to see if that made any difference.Īlaric297:That is interesting that you always use a dedicated AP. I never even thought of that as previously I went with my own router and modem. TB33T: I did call but they told me that I may have to replace my router. Do you think macs just take up more bandwidth? could certain devices do that even for similar tasks? I have a hard time imaging those mac users doing anything other than web browsing unless they were on youtube. Or are you saying that the router maybe just giving off a really weak signal? Yes I can try that and see what happens. Also, I remember my dad had one a while ago so I could try and use that to see.Ģ300peterw: Hmm my router is right under my desk that I have my work laptop at. I can check if there is a spare one at work and compare. The laptop connects to the wifi and then it disconnects and then my other devices disconnect as well which is weird.That is not a bad idea. Troy Jollimore: That sounds quite possible. Merryworks: I checked and that does not seem to be the case. If you have a spare, try that and see if it makes a difference (though it wouldn't protect you from an evil twin attack).Įric7615: Care to elaborate? Were you doing things that required a lot of bandwidth? One last thing - don't rule out a flaky router. If you are really feeling energetic, get a copy of Wireshark and do some packet captures and see what is actually happening in the air. One that runs on either a Mac or PC (or android) is called NetSpot (there is a free version, as well as a paid one). if you have a spare laptop, run one of the many programs out there to monitor the devices that are broadcasting in your area. What would be beneficial is to do some further snooping. It is possible that you are suffering from an evil twin attack. It is possible, that someone is messing with you - essentially sending deauth packets to your devices. It is quite possible that the problem IS interference related, but it wouldn't be your laptop causing it. You don't mention what frequency you are working with. This sounds more like a router issue than a laptop-inspired problem.
