Default connection quality keeps varying

I have recently upgraded from 4.14.10 (due to it turns out the same issue i am now experienceing after upgraDing!) to 4.16.6 but after the 5 green bars come up, it dips to 4 or 3 bars for no apparent reason & then at some point will revert to 5 bars - I presume any downloads are interrupted whilst there are only 4 or 3 bars - any ideas what the problem is please

2. What firewalls you have? I have one, zone alarm 6.1.744.001

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? Yes, home network with 4 laptops, 3 xp laptops which are tempermental with LW and a vista one that won't work at all!
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Used LW for years
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _Yes
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? ROUTER ADMIN SAYS UPNP ENABLED.
