Q&A: Laptop Broken?

Question by jcsgrlone: Laptop Broken?
Ok so it isn’t really broken, just f***ed up every now and then. My issue is that my family has cable and therefore my whole house is a WIFI hotspot. Meaning i should get internet everywhere in it and for the most part i do. The problem is that sometimes (randomly) my laptop will not connect to the web via the router. Yes i have the little switch flipped so it can recieve the signal, yes the router is turned on and no i’m not an excess of 60ft away from the router. Just every now and then, usually after 7pm it stops connecting. It then works again arounf 1am and like 11am. Doea anyone have any idea what’s wrong or how to fix it?
sometimes when i try to have the computer repair it’self it says the problem has to do with my IP adress. how can there be an issue with that?

Could be getting jammed by another wireless device. You might try adjusting the frequency range on the router and laptop.
