Internet keeps disconnecting every 5-10 minutes for a couple seconds and then reconnects?

I've been having this issue with Wi-Fi for about five or so months and not until just recently has it gotten worse and really gotten on my nerves. I tried just about everything too, i turned my power plan settings to advanced for wireless and then opened up my device manager and under network adapters in power management turned off the box that allows the computer to disconnect itself randomly to save power.

I used to have norton security suite (from comcast) and found through searching that it could be norton so at first I marked my network as fully trusted, but that didn't work, and then after that I just installed it, and that didn't work.

I also read that utorrent could be a cause of this so i uninstalled utorrent as well and it's still doing it.

I did an upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8.1 pro but this problem persisted with windows 7 and is still continuing to persist.

I know it has nothing to do with my router either because all my other devices, such as iphones and other computers stay connected just fine.

If anyone knows what to do it'd be much appreciated.

Few things you can try. Download microsoft security essentials and run a full scan for viruses that may be causing the problem. Change your wireless modem.

  • Why does my internet disconnect for a few seconds and then reconnect? I have had this problem for months now, and I haven't had any luck with fixing it. We have gone through 4 different routers and 2 different modems. I have tired disabling stuff and uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. This happens on all devices: ipods, xbox, computer, laptop, iphones. Does anyone know why this is?!
  • Internet on my iphone keeps disconnecting? Okay so i have the iphone 3g (yes, i know it's old, please don't remind me) and everytime i use it i clearly have internet. The only problem is after about a minute my internet shuts down, this happens every single time. I can't use the phone more than a minute without my internet shutting down, most times it just says "no service" on the top… Which is crazy… Any help will be appreciated.
  • Online Games on iPhone keeps refreshing every 5 minutes? Whenever I try to play an online game on my iPhone 4 such as Clash of Clans, I can usually play about 5 minutes in before it says I disconnected with the server and it refreshes the game. It is pretty annoying when i come back and it did not save whatever i have done the last time. Any advice?
  • My iphone lags when I watch youtube, skips couple seconds while i listen to music? Ok so I don't know why but since I got the new ios 7 update, my iphone started to play funny. The other day I was playing music and I noticed that it was skipping seconds in a song in like 1/5 songs. Today on netflix and youtube, my phone starts to lag when I open either youtube or netflix. Like the video needs time so it goes back to normal. I don't know if it's the update that I should be worried about or my iphone. Btw it's an iphone 4.
