Re: Why does my connection keep dropping on Windows 8.1?

I'll be on Skype and watching YouTube, and then my connection drops without any warning. That's the only way I can describe it: it just drops for no reason.
It'll say my connection's limited, and then I switch to the other channel (my 5G one), and everything's fine again.

This happens every 2-3 hours. But when it's stable, I can get up to 4 MB/sec.

I'm running Windows 8.1 on my 2013 iMac 27". The internet still stays up when the connection drops (for example, I can still use the internet on my iPad or iPhone).

I've looked online, but there seems to be no solution to this problem. Maybe one of you guys have a fix to this.

Thanks.

My internet isn't bad. Before I upgraded, it would slow down at some points (and even then, I think it dropped) on Windows 8.

I even had the same issue on my Windows 8 laptop, too.

I know it's not my connection.

Same thing for me. It says I'm connected to our internet and I check the router but it just happens every couple of hours.

Microsoft is always too ignorant and arrogant to fix these problems. They just blame the router and computer manufacturers.

making it appear as just a small lag spike

I've been experiencing the past few days this error, but it's been K for quite some time. (I'm WIN7)

Solution : Ram your router outside your window, come back after 3 days, clean it and turn it on.

^ok now srsly


keep your router off overnight, it should work.


It's usually your ISP messing with you, nothing with your computer.

I believe you are too far from your server.

See, the term 'ping' is the line of connection that is generated by your ping to your router. Are you in a room where you're far away from your server? That might be the problem.

Yeah, you need to let your router cool down. You can't be on it 24/7.
