Default Connection problems

Ok, so I have really annoying problem.
The thing is, my internet likes to disconnect sometimes while I'm playing GW (only when I'm playing GW). It looks like this:
I'm having nice ping (100-150) everything is ok and suddenly I lost connection with interent, but I'm still connected with wi-fi. Ofc I get kick with information about Lost Connection (007 error)

More about my stuff I'm using.
My laptop isn't really bad (I bought it like 10 months ago) and my internet is pretty fast (12mb/s). If it's important I can write down my laptop's parameters.

Thanks in advance for your help. Hope you guys help me

P.S. Please don't laught at me. I know my english sux :C

connection speed doesnt always mean anything - i could have say the fastest ever internet speed ( say 200gig ) but it doesnt mean i`ll connect at that speed.
It could be down to where the router sits in regards to where you laptop is , have you tried playing right next to router ?
Ive heard of cases where the slightest flux in signal has caused drop outs - infact wife before used wifi for a while ( switched to using the cable+gizmo that can connect to mains socket on wall ) and every so often she would lose connection in game and i ran my wii via wirless and watched videos and we tried to see if when she lost it in game if the wii lost it as well.Sadly it seemed the wii was fine but something dropped her.

My router is just below my desk where my laptop is, so the distance is like few centimeters.

Weird, I have had that happen to me, playing with a laptop too, but as it was already said, its just my fault in being too far from the router . . .

Well, try playing while being directly conected to see if it happens again.

Is your laptop plugged in when this happens or running on battery? Some laptops shutdown WiFi to save battery.

While I'm using my laptop at home it's always plugged in and always close to the router

The problem is, that while I'm having this "errors" at my network settings it's showing that I just don't have access to the internet

The icon looks like this



and ofc should be like this

Well, you could try rebooting your router and modem. Then maybe upgrading the firmware. If those don't fix the issues, maybe try changing the broadcasting channel of the wireless. Does it seem to happen at certain times or just completely randomly?

It's happens randomly.

This router I had has been bought like one week ago. But I had the same problems with the old one. It seems like the problem is with a computer (software or hardware) not with router. But it's just my guessing.
