Hai there!

I have an HP Pavillion dm6 laptop and i am experiencing a networking issue. I moved to a different province and got a new ISP (internet server provider) and a new router too.
When i connected my laptop to the router (using WIFI) i started to experience the issue. I keep getting disconnected and reconnected to my home network every 5-10 seconds. I tried connecting an Ethernet cable from the router to my laptop but im still experiencing the same issue.

The router model is: Motorola sbg6580

there are 4 laptops in the house and my laptop is the only one that is experiencing that issue :/
I tried renewing my IP, flushing my DNS and checking whether my network adapters need an update or having a problem functioning.

My network adapter models:
Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller (NDIS 6.20)

Thanks in advance!
