Could you try the steps outlined here please and see if that resolves the sleep problem

Local Area Connection doesn't appear in my "Network Adapters" tab. I only have "Hamachi Network Interface" and "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller". I also had a virtualbox network that I uninstalled when I saw it because I no longer have VirtualBox installed.

Is it just browser speed now ? Is the network connection staying on ?

[Micaso]

Yep. Just browser speed. So far my network connection hasn't failed. It's really random, though, so I might be telling you this now but it's possible it'll fail again in a couple days.

[Essexboy]

Lets see what speeds you are achieving. Could you go here and run a speed test

[Micaso]

Thing is, I'm getting good speed on the website. My other computer, used by relatives, works just fine and does not have a problem while browsing. That's why I was sure it had something to do with my computer. Pages there load instantly, over here, takes a couple seconds. Approximately 5 or 10 seconds, depending on the page.

Have you tried temporarily disabling Online Armour to see if that makes a difference

[Micaso]

Disabling Online Armor doesn't make much of a difference. Same speed. I'm honestly stumped on what it could be.

EDIT: Speak of the devil. A couple minutes after I posted this my internet started failing. I noticed that in the Network and Sharing center, the link from my "Home" network to the internet was fine, a couple seconds later the X appeared cutting the connection, then a few minutes later everything went back to normal. Over the course of thirty minutes it has happened two times. Don't know what it means but doesn't hurt to add.

It is sounding like a network card problem, how do you connect wirelessly.. I.e. USB or internal card

[Micaso]

I actually connect directly to my modem through a ethernet cable.

[Essexboy]

Do you have a spare cable to rule out that problem ?

[Micaso]

I haven't noticed any difference once I switched cables.

[Essexboy]

Do you have other computers using the same router ?

If so go to control panel > internet options
Select the Connections Tab
Select Local Area Network
Place a tick in automatically detect settings

[Micaso]

Nope. No other computers. This router only has one ethernet port. I did as instructed. No notable difference.

OK next shot .. In network connections could you disable "Hamachi Network Interface" and see if that improves the speed
