Internet connection is constantly freezing and disconnecting. Any help?

Question

For about the past 2 months my internet connection freezes for about 5 seconds every minute. And now for about the past week it has been disconnecting then re-connecting about every 30 mins - 1 hour. My computer is wireless but the computer connected to the modem also drops connection alot.

I pinged my IP today and noticed that every minute when it freezes, it takes over 3000ms for the server to respond to my computer, exactly at the same time when my internet freezes.

Could there be a conflict with the wireless router or something that might be causing this? I am starting to get very annoyed at my internet, and it makes it extremely annoying when playing online games, cause everything on the game just freezes when my internet does. If anyone can help me fix this problem I would be extremely thankful. =)


Thanks,
Matt

considering which you purchased this pc used i choose to recommend which you create the restoration disc from the start menu. Toshiba laptops have this preprogrammed. Then run them to take the pc lower back to out of the field situation. it is going to likely be as in case you purchased it new (different than if the previous proprietor broken the aspects or cosmetics of the unit). seek the start menu for "Toshiba" or "My Toshiba" and open each and each folder until you stumble on some like "restoration Creater". you will choose some sparkling DVDs (between 3 to 6). Open the Creater software and follow the teachings to create the discs. when you have created the discs, save each little thing in the pc which you do not choose to lose to an exterior annoying force.(photographs, music, movies, and so on.) to boot when you run the discs you will would desire to reinstall any courses which you have put in after it left the producing facility. once you're waiting to run the discs, open the disc tray and with it open shutdown the pc. while the unit has thoroughly shutdown, place the 1st disc in the tray, close it, and then reboot the pc. do not permit it scare you. The pc start up in any different case. basically permit the disc run until the reveal screen says to put in the 2nd disc. proceed in this variety until the pc says that's finished. then you definitely'll would desire to establish the pc basically as in case you delivered it abode from the shop new. each and all of the information that the previous proprietor put in the pc as properly as each little thing which you had loaded in the pc and any viruses picked up alongside the way are long gone. good success.
