Internet Disconnects Few Seconds Everyday

Laptop is sager np2740. Currently in Mexico. I have my own internet modem/router. I connect an ethernet cable from my laptop to the modem. My ethernet port broke on my laptop a while back so i bought an ethernet adapter.

Everyday throughout the day, my internet would disconnect for less than 5 seconds then connect right back. Thus it has the 2 computer icon shown in the bottom right since i'm connected wired. But it would then disconnect and show the wifi signal no bars etc as if i'm not connected on wifi. Then after a few seconds it would connect right back and thus 2 computer icon showing again.


Does anyone know why my laptop does this? Someone had mentioned to me this could be because of google DNS? I have no idea what that is. But someone said that could be the reason.


Could it be my laptop? I'm thinking well since i'm not using original ethernet port because it broke... that shouldn't be issue since i connect an ethernet adapter to my usb port without any issues.

 

bump anyone?

 

I don't think it would be related to google DNS servers.
As for the Ethernet adapter - USB is not a good interface for networking devices and you can't be sure if a $10 device is actually a good one.
That said, is it that much of a problem?

 

The USB 2.0 ,like downloads stated ,is not going to be as good as normal Lan port.

The drivers for discontinued models are most likely very outdated directly from Sager

Update the Lan driver from a source that has the newest version and try that.

If it's an Intel Lan or Killer Lan try on station-drivers.com for latest

If it's a Realtek Lan disconnects may not be avoidable

How does the wireless work or doesn't it?

 

Actually, I am having similar issue as OP.
My laptop is rocking a killer 1202 nic, with the latest driver and management suite.
The wifi will drop from time to time. When it does, I can still see it as available connection, but only can connect back on in like half a minute. This is a big deal because I play counter strike and a drop like it means I'm out of the game.
I'm sharing the same wireless network with 10+ devices on a crappy modem+ap. But I'm still suspecting my killer nic because it's the only device connected does that. Really want to find a better adaptor now but it seems the options are very limited nowadays.

 

bump... someone tells me i could fix this by disabling my wifi. They said reason is because if it switches between wired and wifi, this is what happens. Does anyone know how do i do this? I was told there is a physical button i can click on to do this? Someone said i can also do this in bios but that is somethign i dont want to touch.


The thing is i want to be able to use wired most of the time. However, i also would like to use it as wifi later on so i would like to know if theres an easy way to do this. Such as a button or option thats quick and not like having to go to BIOs each time to turn wifi on and off.

The problem with this for me when im wired is one it disrupts me when im on the computer. The other thing is if im streaming some tv online, then not only does it lag... but i have to open the stream again. Example like if im watching football on first row sports etc. So once the wired internet connection goes to no wifi connection.... then goes back to wired connection... i have to start the stream all over again.


Does anyone know where in my laptop i can fix this issue?
