Hi!
I just got a brand new Windows 8 laptop:
Samsung ATIV Book 8 15.6" TouchScreen Laptop 8GB Memory 1TB Hard Drive NP880Z5E-X01UB - Best Buy
My computer will constantly connect with my router with full internet connection, then drop it periodically. The connection is getting dropped as fast as every 2 minutes. It goes from full internet to "limited", and I can not connect to anything. If I disconnect and reconnect, it works again, but only for about another 2 minutes before failing. When troubleshooting through Windows, it fixes the problem, but again, disconnects in 2 minutes.
I have tried wireless tethering from my phone, and I have no problems at all. So something between my computer and router seems wrong.
My roommate also just got a brand new ASUS Windows 8 computer and is having no problem with our router. I have 4 other housemates (6 total people) connected to my router (all Windows 7), and none of them have problems either
What do you guys think the problem is? I have a kind of old Linksys WRTS46 router (seems to only have WPA, not WPA 2). I am right next to the router I did not have this problem with my old Windows 7 laptop. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
