Internet problem

dumbdumb! SG

My computer internet always keep dropping from time to time.

like no internet issue for a few days, suddenly the internet connection drop, can connect to wireless router, but cannot connect to internet.

but for my laptop, no connection issue.

both my laptop and my computer connects to my wireless router to get to the internet.

what could be the problem?

oh to resolve my computer internet connection, i had to disconnect my router's power, then connect back, then reboot the router. then my computer can connect back to the internet.

what is that so?

cable loose? faulty?

dumbdumb! SG

if cable loose on the router side, my laptop's internet connection should be affected, but its not.

if its any cable loose on my computer. my internet connection shouldn't hv been able to be restored after i plug out the power cable from the router and reboot the router.

I'm on Singnet wired and it disconnects out of the blue especially when i'm gaming. I have to wait for around few minutes before it reconnects by itselfs. Sad
