Hi Rowdy,
Could you give us some more information please?
What do you mean with losing internet and having to restart, does it drop the signal making you have to reconnect to it or does it completely dissapear saying there is no adapter/connection available?
Also, what type of laptop do you have? (Model nr)

i tried that before and didnt work for me. i suspect it may be my internet explorer and have since downloaded chrome and havent had the issue since. if i continue to have the problem ill let you know. thank you for your help!
The angle of the display affected my WiFi connection. At 90 degrees WiFi was fast but if I pushed the screen all the way to 110 degrees (fully open) WiFi was extremely slow. I think it affected the connection to an antenna in the screen.
I have tried this and updated drivers..still have the same problem. I started getting this problem when I changed service provider. But my other computers (Macbook pro and imac) have no problem connecting and staying connected.

Just go on Amazon and grab another newer wifi card for less than $20. Or try to see if there are updates for the wifi available.
The R13 is a pile of junk. No other device disconnects like this thing - cheesed off with it!

Then try rebooting both your laptop and the cable modem (unplug it, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in). If your Internet connection returns anytime during this process, it's possible the problem is with one of the components of your home network (router, wireless access point, etc.
