I have a laptop and a desktop. The desktop is connected via ethernet to the router, the laptop wirelessly. Every 25 minutes or so the internet on the laptop ceases to work. I turn off the router for a minute or so switch it back on and the laptops internet works again. This would be fine but it happens very very often. The desktop's internet however remains fine (except when i turn the router off, obviously). Ne suggestions?

The laptop should be configured to get DHCP and DNS automatically.

Sounds like there's wireless interference involved.

try these in your laptop computer:

there all services would be listed.there check for "wireless zero configuration"...right click and select properties...
select the mode as automatic....and click on apply..

Do you have any other wireless devices, phone, remote controls ect.?
These can interfere with wifi.
