I have been having this problem for a few days now. I have a iB-WRB300N router. My laptop which is connection to the router frequently loses access to internet while I can use the same WiFi connection without a problem at the same time. Note that the laptop doesn't lose connection with WiFi router but just the internet connection. This happens for about 20-40 seconds in every few minutes and then everything gets back to normal. I use Windows 10 on my laptop. Please someone help if you can as this is annoying me very much.

And your laptop may just be more sensitive to wireless interference and/or be slower to recover.
