Wireless internet disconnects momentarily whilst live streaming

[KingBuzzo15]

My internet disconnects after about 10 mins whilst I am live streaming video, then re-connects. Seems to be ok if I am watching a youtube video however. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Any thoughts?

I may have solved my own problem 😛 I ticked the option in the wireless properties to connect to the network even if it is not broadcasting SSID. This so far seems to have solved it will keep this open just in case however

Okay this is VERY vague, so let's specify better please

Your computer is wirelessly? Wired? To the Router?
You tried this same test WIRED to the router (Wireless on your laptop/desktop disabled) and still the same issue?
You tried the same test Wired to the Modem and still the same issue?
If so then it is your ISP and you need to contact them, maybe you have the cheapest internet and need to spend more money if your going to live stream videos OUTbound.

If your connections are good Wired, and only when your wireless on the router, then how many other users are on this router? Is this router properly secure your neighbor isn't hogging it all and causing it to 'reset'?

Then you move onto QoS (Quality of Service) enabling on all the devices connecting to the router AND inside the router itself. You would then have to setup that your Live Streaming is Prirority one, while everyone else is priority two. CAREFUL THIS PISSES PEOPLE OFF WHEN THEY CAN"T SURF BECAUSE YOUR HOGGING THE BANDWIDTH.

And there is more but you get the picture on doing more 'analysis' of the issue.

My internet is wireless, it's a desktop. We are on with BT and my Father doesn't have this problem.

I never had this problem with Windows Vista. It only happens when inbound streaming say NHL gamecenter live. Works fine with videos on youtube though and doesn't disconnect whilst normally surfing the net.

Like I say I may have solved it myself.

Ok I haven't solved it I still have the problem

is it ok on a long HD youtube? try a wire?

Ok I may have solved this by allocating my own IP address,Default gateway and DNS address. Instead of letting the network automatically do it.

Not really, that has nothing to do with it. As I first posted, for determining the 'problem point' then vaguely just changing 'everything till something works' you won't really resolve the issue. Further your pointing to only one website as the issue, that absolutely no other streaming (like a Netflix movie, watching a National Geographic episode, etc.) is having the problem, but your saying it only happens on your computer as well as compared to your Fathers.

Well this is apples to oranges unless we know all these specs of both systems, how they connect, and perform the tests as I outlined. And BTW changing to a new Windows system doesn't change the ability on one single website, it would affect ALL websites no matter where your getting the stream from.

The tests outlined and results are the same tests normally done by a 'tech visit' to your house too. But if your happy with what you did, then good luck.

My solution did work, the problem I used to experience on my old system was the router not allocating network addresses properly. It is only live streaming (I.E. streaming live sports) that it does it with, no matter what website I stream from. I can stream episodes of anything via youtube etc fine and it doesn't do it at all. I can download updates for games say on steam or mods from websites without it kicking me off as well.

I used to get DNS problems as well until I allocated the IP's myself. Also my net connection is by no means slow at all it's 36Mbps download and 7Mbps upload.

I connect via wireless and so does my dad. He has Windows 7 64bit Ultimate as have I, the only difference being he has a better system than mine(faster processor, better GPU).

My full specs are

Intel Core 2 Quad @2.4Ghz
Nvidia Geforce GT630 2GB
2GB Ram

Anyway it seems to work now. Perhaps it was a windows update that made it more stable, I don't know. I have spent most of the past 2 days getting Windows up to date. Which took ages 😛

I also unticked "Allow the computer to turn this device off to save energy". Is it possible that was it? Although I would have thought it would affect all things I did on the net.
