    Hello
    I have a problem which is making me seriously consider punching my laptop(yeah i know it wont fix it)anyway
    the thing is when i'm playing online games,like League of Legends or Guild Wars 2 i get disconnected for a minute mid way into the game,after 10 mins or so.
    I know it's not an ISP problem or modem's fault because i have 2 more computers connected and they run just fun on the net while i have been disconnected on my laptop(all wireless)
    I've upgraded to windows 8 pro recently and went to killer network site to grab drivers for windows 8 64-bit,it fixed the lag spikes problem I've been having but now instead of lag spikes I get disconnected all together
    Is there a way to fix this thing cause I get really frustrated with this situation

    Thank you for reading this

    Try disabling the killer network manual and see of that works?
