Pending OP Response laptop disconnects from internet constantly, need to restart

BTW, I notice that my other devices aren’t connected too when this happens, like my iPhone and speakers. Does that mean that maybe it’s not an internet connection thing, but an overall connection thing?
 
How do the speaker connect to the PC - bluetooth, 3.5mm jack into the green audio port, wirelessly, or USB?
Same for the iPhone, is it losing connection to the PC or to the internet?

As to Nortons, yes, my recommendation would be not to renew it. But feel free to do what you want. It is a good product, used to use it myself.
But as said, and the reason I ditched it, was it simple is not needed. Windows has an equally good product built right into the system, working at the OS level, created by the same guys who write and maintain the OS. That's got to be an added advantage.

Hi, yes I have a bluetooth connection for the speakers and such. Does that help? It loses connection the exact times I lose connection to the internet. I'm not sure if this has changed, but now sometimes when I lose connection, I simply close my computer and let it sleep for a little bit and the connections come back. Thanks for your patience. So I assume it's simply losing connection to my laptop, since my iPhone stays connected to other things and I have a Chromebook that never has connection problems.
 
Since other things are disconnecting as well, it may not be the wireless adapter after all.

Go back to post #13 and in the second paragraph, try those suggested ideas.
Also go to Control Panel, Power Options, and change your power profile to High for a few days to see if that stops things from going to sleep.

The new theory is to make sure the laptop isn't putting anything to sleep if no activity, or to save power.
