I have had a look through all the related questions and I get the feeling my problem is unique.
My wireless connection disconnects every 30 minutes, for maybe 1 to 3 seconds. If I am browsing the web while it happens, I get the page cannot be displayed error message.
I have checked the event logs as I was curious to know if there was anything in there.
There is.
Event 8033: BROWSER - The browser has forced an election on network
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{B919CC30-25A9-45DD-A09F-549A6262FC9E} because
a master browser was stopped.
Reported exactly every 30 minutes which coincides with my wireless problem.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. My wireless is Realtek RTL8187 integrated into a ASUS P5K-E/Wifi motherboard. It is on a workgroup and has never been on a domain.
This problem does not affect any other computers.
Wireless reception is great, and I have ensured that the wireless unit is transmitting on a frequency not used by any nearby wireless basestations.
How can I fix this pesky problem?
Answer
I think I know what this might be, as I have been egtting the exact same thing on my new Netbook and it has been driving me crazy. Every 30 minutes, regular as clockwork.
Are you using WPA-PSK ? I am. On my Zyxel router there is a setting "ReAuthentication Timer (In Seconds) " and this defaults to 1800 ( 30 minutes ). Sure enough, if I change this to 60 seconds, the problem now occurs every minute. Set it to 120 and it occurs every 2 minutes.
Check your router to see if you have this setting.
Chris.
