    Hello,

    (DIR-655 with a D-Link DWA-142 USB adapter)

    About every hour, web pages don't load, but the connection manager says I am connected at full strength. Is there some type of problem with my computer? What else could cause this? Do I need to run sort of tweak test?

    Just cuz ur connected to the router doesn't mean you're online. It just means you made a connection to the hardware. So if it loses the signal, you can be at 100% connection and still have no internet capabilities.
