Internet keeps disconnecting every 5-10 minutes for a couple seconds and then reconnects?

I've been having this issue with wifi for about five or so months and not until just recently has it gotten worse and really gotten on my nerves. I tried just about everything too, i turned my power plan settings to advanced for wireless and then opened up my device manager and under network adapters in power management turned off the box that allows the computer to disconnect itself randomly to save power.

I used to have norton security suite (from comcast) and found through searching that it could be norton so at first I marked my network as fully trusted, but that didn't work, and then after that I just installed it, and that didn't work.

I also read that utorrent could be a cause of this so i uninstalled utorrent as well and it's still doing it..

I did an upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8.1 pro but this problem persisted with windows 7 and is still continuing to persist.

I know it has nothing to do with my router either because all my other devices, such as iphones and other computers stay connected just fine.

If anyone knows what to do it'd be much appreciated.

Try setting different WiFi channel on your router or use wired connection instead of wireless.

Not sure this will work for you, but the below solution seems to have worked... think the bluetooth was interfering with the wireless signal... not sure why they would conflict, but with the bluetooth errors, it explains the timing of the network downttime (or the cycling of the downtime every few minutes) I have been dealing with this issue for months and everything else has not helped. Have had an uninterrupted signal for over an hour now.
