Dear experts,

Please help me with this problem as I have it for years, and no one seems to help me with the issue:

I use an Android phone, and when I go online I can surf the web for about 10 mins without a problem, but after that, any page just stops loading and after a while a window pops up saying "CONNECTION TIMED OUT". If I turn off my wifi on my phone and turn it back on again, it doesn't help. The only thing that helps is restarting the phone. After the restart, everything works fine again for about 10 mins and stops working after. So you can imagine how many times I restart my phone during the day, which is very, VERY annoying!!!

Changing the phone doesn't help. I've had this problem for years, my old phone had this problem, and now I have the same problem with my new phone, I also had a simular problem with my tablet, but NEVER have this problem with my labtop!

This is happening in many wifi spots, not only in my house, but also in my relative's house, and at my work. However, in some places internet works fine, and I don't have to restart it every 10 mins.

Other people that are using the same wifi as I do, do not have that problem, for some reason, only my phones do!!!

Recently, I've been having the same problem while using 3G internet. Works fine for a while, but then "CONNECTION TIMED OUT" pops up which means I have to restart my phone.

I can't find for a solution on the internet either. It appears that other people have this problem ONLY while using PlayMarket, while I have this problem while I am on the internet.

My date and time settings are correct, and my "hosts" folder has only one "local hosts" line it it, as it should. So my settings seem to be correct, but for some reason I can't use the internet properly. Do any of you know what the reason is, and how to fix it?
