What the fuck is wrong with my computer, /g/?
Lately the internet connection has taken to cutting out every 20 minutes or so. At first I thought it was the wireless adapter, so I got a new one, but it does the same thing. Rebooting the computer or unplugging and replugging the wireless adapter almost always allows me to reconnect, but it just goes out again in 20 minutes or so. I don't have this problem on any other device, so it's got to be something on my pc, but if it's not related to the wireless adapter, what the fuck could it be?
Shit is baffling me, /g/.

Router/modem overheating?

Or wireless adapter overheating rather
Can be a DNS issue from Windows 8/10. Go to your DNS settings and change to something to like OpenDNS. Restart PC, remove or keep the DNS you entered and it should behave better.

If it were the wireless adapter overheating, you would think replacing it would produce different results, but it hasn't.
And if it were the router or modem, I don't know what unplugging/rebooting on the PC would help since I haven't changed anything with the router.

I've tried the wireless adapter in multiple usb ports with the same results, so it's not that.
I should also say that I don't have this problem at all with my laptop, so I don't think the problem is anything with the router or modem.

I had this issue with mine. The default setting is to allow computer to turn off device to save power. Just go to your advanced settings for the adapter and set it to never turn off

From what I can tell, the wireless adapter is set to "maximum wireless performance with no power saving," so unless I'm looking at the wrong set of settings, this doesn't seem to be the issue.

I should also say I don't have this problem when connecting to my phone's hotspot. It's specific to the connection between this computer and the home wifi.
