Freezing and disconnecting

[purpa12]

I have an Asus and it keeps freezing up. Every 10-20minutes the page that I'm on completely freezes up and eventually the white bar at the top comes up and says "page is not responding". The only way to fix it is by turning off the wifi and then turning it back on again which makes it work immediately. I thought it was a wifi issue, but it does this at other locations other than my house. It's frustrating because I can't even download games since they take awhile, and before it finishes the wifi disconnects and restarts the downloading process.

Try this....

First, make sure your laptop is 'not' connected to the modem/router via an Ethernet cable and follow the steps:

1. Go to "Control Panel".

2. Next go to "Network and Internet" and then "Network and Sharing".

3. Now click on "Manage Wireless Networks".

4. On this screen, remove all wireless connections by "right clicking" on it and select "Remove network" from the drop down menu.

5. After doing this, close the open windows and reboot the computer.

6. Once the computer is fully reloaded, scan for the "Wi-Fi networks".

7. Click on the available network that you want to access and select "connect".

8. It takes a moment, but then you will be asked to give a password for your Wi-Fi connection. Type in the password and click the "connect" button.

It should now be connected.

NOTE: If this doesn't work, you may want to reset your modem/router, and then once it is fully loaded again, repeat the above steps.

If this doesn't work, test seeing if your laptop will connect via Ethernet. If so, then your WiFi card may be going. You can either look to replace it/have it replaced, or get an external (plugs in via USB) WiFi card.
