Do you have your own router? or are you getting your signal from someone else's router? I would strongly suggest using your signal indicator to find out where the signal is strongest and continue using it from that location. Also a lot of the time the signal tends to waver if your computer starts to over heat due to over use or to many programs running at the same time. It is prudent to only turn on 2 or 3 programs to start because if you have a bunch running in the back ground that will also over heat your system. I use CPUID HWMonitorPro
