hi theinhaler  I used to have this problem a lot too, with 2 x Nexus 7 tablets, Internet TV, and 3 x PC's all trying to connect through the same router some of them would randomly drop out & be unable to connect. Turned out it was because they were all set to "obtain an IP address automatically" & what was happening was that sometimes 2 or more of the devices would be trying to connect using the same IP address. So what I had to do was give them all their own individual static IP address (easy to do and can be easily undone) Your problem might not be caused by this but if all else fails it's worth a shot. www.howtogeek.com/howto/19249/how-to-assign-a-static-ip-address-in-xp-vista-or-windows-7/good luck  |
