No difference.įound this - says it could be because it is trying to turn off my Wireless Adapter to save power - so I followed the instructions and no change.

Tried changing the channels of my modem (default 6) to 3 to 11. Uninstalled drivers, ran cmd -> 'netsh winsock reset', reboot, and let Windows reinstall the drivers -> didn't change anything

Other Googling suggested I turn off 802.11n Mode since my modem is 802.11g anyways. They aren't the same symptoms I've described above, but nonetheless tried the solutions they've offered. Google: I checked others and they seem to have some sort of connection problems with Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN. This is the current installed version.ĭrivers: Tried installing my computer's latest from Lenovo -> Same issue, version 12.4.1.11.

But when it does work, the Internet is fast - what I expect.ĭrivers: Tried installing latest directly from Intel -> Same issue, version 13.5.0.6. Note the times! All within a minute, I would lose Internet connection. Timeline: Internet OK -> Internet NOT OK -> Disconnect Manually -> Reconnect Manually -> Internet OK again -> Internet NOT OK Again.

That is, it is still connected to the modem, but drops the 'Internet' part of the connection every 1 minute or so. Problem: The computer will connect to wireless access points including my wireless modem at home, but cannot maintain a connection to the Internet itself. Wireless Network Adapter: Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN. I really hope someone else has had this problem because it seems unsolvable.
