My problems is like.. i can't download without it fails multiple times. Connection Error please check your connection.

Not just for downloads, updating as well. Anything that requires a download.

I'm using a wireless usb wifi stick, and yes, there's no problem with the stick because I tried with my other PC and it works as if nothing is wrong.

My suspicion on my specific issue is that, instead of weak connection, I'm having a problem where the internet is off for a split of a second on every 2 seconds.

To bypass this issue, I just restarted my PC and it works perfectly but yeah, not for long. After a while the problem came back.

Please help me, i don't feel like resetting my pc by re-installing windows

I was literally having this problem a few weeks ago. I knew it had to do with where the downloads! Fortunately my computer is getting repaired. But if I have this issue again I'll definitely try this. A lot better than editing the registry and getting no where.
