Internet disconnects for a few seconds and then reconnects every so hours.

Just recently, my computer has been disconnecting for a few seconds and then reconnecting every few hours and it starts to get annoying. I have wired internet and nobody in my house has been getting this problem. Is there any way I can fix this problem?

Do all devices disconnect at the same time or just your device? Do any other devices disconnect after a couple hours, even if not sync'ed with yours?

Its just my device that disconnects. This is the first time this ever happened with all of my devices.

If you bring up a cmd window and type ipconfig /all | find "Lease" it will show you what the DHCP lease duration is. DHCP will renew after half the lease. If your lease is short this could be your problem.

Im guessing that it will disconnect every hour? Sorry if im wrong, I haven't dealt with this type of stuff before.

Actually every 30 min. It renews after 1/2 the lease. This is something that can usually be changed on your router.

Typical DHCP lease is 12 to 24 hours. Usually expressed in seconds on the DHCP settings page.
