This has happened for quite some time now with any device thats is not connected to my internet with an ethernet cable

I touched upon this is another post but I was wondering if someone could help me before I call my isp

My wifi will only work for a certain amount of time before I have to turn the wifi off then on on my laptop or phone. If im playing cs ill get anywhere from 5-10 mins before my internet shuts off and I have to restart steam. If im using the interwebs I can load about two pages before I have to I/O my internet again. This happens anywere in my house.

Internet problems part 2:
The other router I have is a little better and gives me more time before I have to I/O my internet but the problem is the name of the router will show up, but I have 0 bars and theres no internet. I checked the router and it says everything is fine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

It sounds like your router/routers or modem is dying. At the very least the wifi part of it is dying.

Have you tried logging into the webpage of your router? Try to look at the logs and google any errors.

Upgrade router firmware, change it to an easier encryption (WPA, instead of WPA2). Change the broadcast channel. Also good "<router model> dropping wifi" or something to see if it is a common issue.
