ok

[Gabbiman]

Hmmmm, loading any site will reboot the router, you get 1 to 3 sites before it reboots itself.
It doesnt happen if I am using my phone so something with my LT is really weird.
YouTube reboots it instantly.

[FurryNutz]

You have any 3rd party add-ons and security SW enabled on this LT? If so, disable all of them.
What browser are you using?
Try Opera or FF?

[Gabbiman]

I am using Chrome.
Tried downloading a program through its own installer and the router rebooted, must be if a lot of data is required it drops.

[FurryNutz]

Connect the LT wired LAN and download...

[Gabbiman]

Did factory reset and reconfiguered, now it isnt rebooting when loading pages

[Gabbiman]

Its only this router, Ive tried another which worked just fine, also a Dlink router

[FurryNutz]

Does wired LAN still work? What is the model of the other D-Link router?

And do other devices connect to this router ok? Just the LT is experiencing this issue?

[Gabbiman]

If my LT is off then its no problem but when the LT is on other users drop randomly and router restarts, no idea of the other router model, it was at a friends house. Will check wired connection.

[Gabbiman]

Now it is not rebooting the router but only reconnecting when I use internet on LT, still wireless

[FurryNutz]

Does the LAN wired do the same thing?

I'm thinking this LT or the adapter on this LT is causing this router to not work well... 

[Gabbiman]

It started rebooting it again with heavy traffic, wired works no problem but that is another adapter.
I could walk about 6-10 meters away before it disconnects, through a wall it works to the next room (3 meters between router and LT) but not to my room which is above (2-3 meters between router and LT)

[FurryNutz]

And can you do the same distances with other devices with out the router rebooting?

I think theres a problem with this particular laptop and this router.

Any chance you could test a Windows 8 Wifi USB adapter on the LT? You need to check to see if a different WiFi adapter would work on the LT and the 655 router. Something like D-Links DWA series USB adapters. Or connect a DAP model bridge up and use LAN wired the LT to the bridge as a test. 

Can you get the model of your friends DIR series router you tested out?

[Gabbiman]

Any other device works fine, I just tested with two older routers and in my school, no problem on any.
I'm gonna test an external adapter now

[Gabbiman]

External adapter no problems.
Problem narrowed down to:
Broadcom 802.11ac network adapter BCM43XX
