For some reason every 10-15 minutes my computer just disconnects from the internet and i have to run the troubleshooter, no one else in my family has the issue and I've used different wifi chips so it's not that. I have no idea whats going on and it's getting really annoying. Anyway ever experience this/know how to fix it?

Was it previously working ok and just started happening or has it never worked. Go to a command prompt and enter the command:

ipconfig /all

This will show the configuration details for all of your networked devices. If you need help interpreting it please post the output on here.

It's always been bad, but never like this, usually it's just a slow connection that would, on occasion, say there's a problem with the network and make me reset the router, even though no other device had issues. Heres the ipconfig since I understand none of it.

Two things - first of all you are unlikely to be using IPv6 protocol so you can disable this on your wireless adapter properties. Second, are you actually using the Hamachi VPN - if not you can uninstall it.

Yeah I looked through it again after posting and thought the same thing about Hamachi, since I don't have access to the router properties(Parents don't know the admin password and username and refuse to reset it) I figured the easiest thing to do was just uninstall Hamachi. So far my connection is back to it's terrible but rather stable self.

You don't need access to the router properties to disable IPv6 on your wireless adapter though and it could improve things.
