WiFi appears healthy, yet browsers fail to load pages intermittently, and more...?

On my laptop I will have four bars on my network meter, yet browsers will fail to load pages intermittently as if the connection were down.

When pages fail to load, I can ping without any packet loss.

Sometimes I can Troubleshoot > Diagnose and it will end up resetting the network adapter, and browsers will work again.

Sometimes when I Diagnose, it doesn't recognize any problems. I manually reset the network adapter and browsers work again.

Sometimes when I manually Diagnose it resets the network adapter, yet browsers still do not work.

I can power cycle or reset the network but it is always a temporary remedy.

One would assume that there is some issue in the realm of network adapters, but an old PC (that I rarely turn on) seems to be susceptible to the same malady.

I don't even...

Update:

I said "browsers". It happens to all the browsers that I have.

I main Firefox, but I have Chrome and Explorer too.

    Try isolating the issue by connecting with different pc/device

    >if still the issue persists then u can try updating the firmware for the router

    P.S Check for interference like cordless phone/xenon light etc..

    have you ever examined no matter if it really is an similar in different browsers? right it is a answer. set up avant browser tri-center browser and turn between chrome/firefox/ie rendering mode to work out no matter if all of them have an similar issue. if so it must have something to do with your internet connection %.

    you did not specify which browser you are using. however, most people ignorantly use internet explorer. it sucks. horribly. stop using it. and light it on fire. switch to firefox. goodluck. :)
