Computer issue or internet?
Alright, my internet just went out and it was working fine. The only way I got it working again was due to restarting my computer. Any idea why it does that?
Update:I don't want stupid answers. I want answers to help me. :/

For example, you claim your internet went down and started working again when you restarted your computer. But did your other devices work?
If they did, then you might be losing a signal to your WiFI. Is there a chance that your network is open? Or maybe the channel is being changed by multiple networks.
Go to:
Start>Type "cmd">Type "ipconfig">Copy the IP Adress
Now Paste it in your browser and enter whatever your router gives you for your username and password
Usually
User: Admin (or User. Depends)
Password: Password
Go to wireless settings and change the channel. Have either 1, 6 or 11.
