Why do I keep losing my Internet connection when I still have a good WIRELESS card on my Windows 7 laptop?
I always lose my Internet connection but yet my network signal strength is good. This happens on my Windows 7 operating system, but not my Windows Vista operating system. I'm afraid that this could have something to do with the firewall settings? He was repeatedly interruption of connection with the Internet and the two operating systems. Unplug the unit and reset the router solved the problem with Windows Vista, but only momentarily for Windows 7. I ran the diagnosis and resolution of problems. This utility can detect never any problem. Sometimes the diagnostics displays a problem with a connection to the Ethernet cord (but the laptop with Vista OS was fine). I have reset the wireless adapter, which claims to be working very well, over and over again. I have reset the settings of the Windows Firewall to its default settings. Don't know what else to do. Help, please! I fear that the problem exposed my laptop to a potential security threat.
- I use a public network location setting I got with a security access code
- Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter is the adapter connection
- NETGEAR's router
- WPA2-PSK is my type of security
- Radio type 802.11n
- Windows Firewall on
- Microsoft Security Essentials on real-time
- Microsoft Virtual Mini Port Adapter (WHICH I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE JUST NOW) displayed in network connections, but is not connected!

Try this,
Assuming that the signal is strong, and that there is no noise in the electrical environment (http://www.ezlan.net/wbars.html ).
Uncheck the box to the NIC of energy economy (I.e., do not leave the card save energy).
There may be some variations on where is the energy saving setting.
Here are a few examples, YMMV, look around your systems.

iMac loses the internet connection when I turn off wifi
Any help appreciated! I'm not very computer savy! Can my grandson tell me (how) on some things.
I lose the internet connection when wifi is disabled. It will happen when using any browser, Firefox-Safari-Google Chrome.
Desktop computer is connected to the modem.
Model name: iMac
Processor name: Intel Core i7
Processor speed: 3.4 GHz
Number of processors: 1
Total number of Cores: 4
(By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Any ideas? Thank you
You can use an ethernet cable between the modem (= the internet connector) and the iMac.
WiFi is like an invisible computer thread worms (among others) the modem. When you switch WiFi off, your computer cannot reach the modem and so there is no internet on your computer.

You must set up a wireless internet connection in the network as well as the connection sharing normal LAN wireless and connect to it as well as the local connection. If you don't do this, you will not have an internet connection. You need both. You must also enable some features in the main area sharing network to access the internet - they are quite well defined.
