As I have experienced everyday, I have frequent loss of internet connection due to my part, and sometimes just plain old, LOSS of CONNECTION (hahah). Well we can do the usual Powercycling, turning of your modem,router, phone adapter and your computer. But 400 times a day well , the router and PC settings seems to be the problem. :) Start by extending your router’s DHCP lease time to a period of 1 week. You can access this setting through your router’s browser-based firmware. Laptops are notorious when it come to internet connection loss, check the power management setting for its network adapter. When using Wi-Fi connection it maybe wise to put in high performance mode rather than battery saving mode, because the moment of idle time. Well, your laptop’s gonna sit there and idly chill out ( you know what I mean)
DNS services are a factor that can help the loss connections. DNS servers are the PCs on which your ISP stores the databases that it uses to translate individual URLs into their corresponding numerical IP addresses on the internet. If you receive messages informing you that web pages can’t be found or that email can’t be retrieved, try using the DNS servers at OpenDNS.com in place of those at your ISP. Tried it and it really works. Good for my laptop faster browsing too. Start by accessing the wide-area network (WAN) settings in your router’s browser-based firmware; then change the IP addresses for DNS to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. OpenDNS is free, and it blocks known phishing sites.
