Every few days my internet decides to lose connection every 5 minutes and it just happens throughout the entire day and I can't figure out how to fix it.

Also, even when I am connected to the internet and am having no problems I still get this if I "diagnose problems"


"Your computer computer seems to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding."





Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I need the internet for work.

I'm almost certain that has nothing to do with it. It is happening to my Ipod and Ipad as well as my computer, and I have sat everywhere in the house with the Ipod and Ipad. It seems to not matter where I am.
 

If it happens with every device, then it is time to buy a new wireless router. Linkysys has some great models. I have their E1000 and am very satisfied with it's performance. Very easy installation.
