Hello,
Lately my wireless internet has been acting up on my laptop. And I was wondering if anyone here could give suggestions or even help. My internet disconnects & reconnects instantly and I find it quite annoying. This has only started this week, first I thought it would fix itself but I guess not.

Sometimes it's fine for hours, and sometimes it happens quite much in a short time.

I tried to reset my modem and router but no change. I have no problems with a cable, wireless internet on my PS3 seems to be normal too, it's only on this laptop. (Vista)

I use a static IP on this, but not sure if that has to do anything with it.

Could it be the fact its old or is you local internet provider is currently doing work to it and causes the connect/disconnect problem

My provider raised up their monthly limits end June, but I doubt that caused my problem. My router is in fact rather old, bought it a year or 4 ago I think. But it seems to work fine with other devices like my PS3 though.

Just to mention, it does happen rarely, if not, not at all, when I play online games. I just played a ren game for 3 hours straight and didn't disconnect. Now I'm not sure if you notice a very fast disconnect-reconnect while you play though. I'm only seeing it when I'm chatting or surfing the web.

I posted also on that site, I'll check both here & there.

Hmm 1 or 4 years ago, now someone did say that they have a limited life expectancy

It might be worth asking for a new internet modem / gateway, I had exactly the same problem with our cable modem when they raised the speed of our plan, turned out the modem couldn't handle the faster speeds and was constantly crashing and rebooting itself every 10 minutes or so. New modem arrived, plugged it in and never had a problem since.

And yes, they do have a limited life expectancy and if it's closer to the 4 year mark, or more, it could also simply be the age of the modem / gateway causing it to fail.
