Is there a way to fix this problem without using external programs that I have to download online? Cancambo mentioned a .bat file. How do I set that up, and why does it work? I'm on Windows 7 btw.
At random. Anywhere between 1 and 8 minutes.
Figure out the router's IP address. I am not sure how you do this for W7, but on XP you go to Run and type in cmd. Then in the command prompt, type 'ipconfig' and your router's IP should be the same as the default gateway. It should be 192.168.X.X. Then create a the .bat file by opening notepad and put in "ping -t 192.168.X.X" (replace the X's, of course). Then instead of saving it as a .txt file, save it as a .bat file. Double clicking on this .bat will then start the pinger that will constantly ping your router. This creates a constant connection between your PC and your router, and it uses of very minute amoutns of memory to do so, at least that's how I understand it.
