2. I have cable internet.
I don't think that's the problem. Seems to be a problem between the wireless router and my computer.

4. My WiFi on my laptop does that to from time to time.
One time I lost it for a few days and it came back on it's own.

I now know what to do when the happens.

8. I can do two different things.
On my lap top there is Fn key and a F2 key.

I just hit the Fn key, hold it down and hit the F2 key, that usually works.

If that doesn't work I just unplug the computer from everything and then plug it back in.

It works then, I don't know why.

I really need to learn more about computers and WiFi.

I have a Dell laptop.

9. Thanks, texanwitch. I try those things next time I get kicked off
multiple times.

My son-in-law is a computer geek, so maybe he can help me to learn a bit more myself.

My computer is a Compaq.
