I'm not too tech savvy. Here's what's been happening for the past week or so. My internet will be decent during the day but at night it'll cut out every 15 minutes sometimes more sometimes less.
The icon still tells me i'm connected but webpages don't load and I can't play games online.
I've tried resetting the router and restarting my computer. That's all i really know to do.
I run vista. I sometimes download torrents but not often and I haven't downloaded anything that would be likely to get flagged in a long time.
Any ideas? Is there anything i can do to make anything more understandable?

What's your ISP? DSL? Broadband? Dial-up?
Wired or wireless?
The router is wired but my computer isn't close to that so i use a wireless receiver to get on the internet.
thank you.

A lot of the time it's cordless phones that are the offender, I heard some microwaves can also affect it but I have never seen one mess with the signal. Personally we have a cordless phone that used to knock out my wireless connection every time it rang or someone picked it up. I eventually just ran a cable from one side of the house through the air ducts and never worried about it again.
I would suggest changing the channel on your receiver and seeing if that helps. If something is interfering with the signal then maybe operating on a different channel will fix it.
