Your problem has nothing to do with flash or anything else on your laptop. The problem you have is to do with the TD-W8960N itself . TheTD-W8960N is a cheap entry level modem that only has a NAT size of 5020 and 64 Mb of Ram and is not good for heavy torrenting or live streaming as it overloads the NAT, fills up the Ram and causes slow network problems and at times drop outs in either the wifi or the adsl connection. When you re-boot the modem , it clears the NAT and it is empty to start all over again until the live streaming and other usage fills up the NAT again. The wifi on the TD-W8960N is also somewhat crappy and only single band N300 wifi and it also only has 10/100 Ethernet ports on it. Nothing you do will fix your drop out problem other than either to the stop live streaming or get a more powerful modem. These days , the TD-W8960N is only mainly used as a bridged modem in a separate modem + router set-up , and at times used as a standalone modem/router all in one combo , by cheap sods that are too cheap to fork out any money for a decent modem. Save yourself all the time and effort and just go out and buy a TP-Link Archer D7 with dual band 1750 AC wifi for $170 , it has a NAT size of 10200 and 256 Mb of Ram that is more than sufficient to do live streaming and heavy internet usage. -- Sandgroper -------------------------------------------- Save planet Earth !
