Internet is absolute crap.

Ever since I built my new computer the Internet disconnects ALL THE time. I have a Powerlline TP Link AV-4010 Kit. Maximus VII Hero motherboard. I installed the "latest" Intel Ethernet Drivers. Any ideas? I'm so sick of it happening. It only happens to my computer.

It may be interference. I dont know really but thats my guess.

And so GabeN has told us to march forthith unto the Land of Holy welding our swords of mice, shields of keyboards, and helmets of Oculus Rifts where we shall reclaim it-which is rightfully ours-from the PUNY Console Peasants from whom armed only with mere controllers we shall decimate in all forms of battle and we shall dominate even in their most ridiculous tradition and infatuation of CoD. Yes, my brothers- sisters and trans sexuals too- we shall destroy the inferior of races with our might and majesty. And if any Peasants wish to join us they must speak now or forever perish. -Ancient Speech from a Leader of Old, Book of Murratri section 2

No, the other computers are on WiFi and they never disconnect.

 

Then its an issue with your powerline device, can you give an estimate on how old the house you live in is/the last time the wiring was updated?

 

Also are you plugging the powerline directly into the wall?

It is your modem. I had this issue when I got my high end computer, you need a modem with more ports. Basically call your isp and demand the best router you can get or tell them you will stop buying from them. They are greedy about letting out better modems. But it fixed my issue. Your computer might be trying to access more bandwidth than is available. Even if you are not doing internet intensive activities.

Would using a switch instead work?

I can't say for certain, I don't remember if my opinion on the matter is even perfectly correct, this was years ago and I didn't do a whole lot of research into it. I smart person who worked for an isp told me I needed a modem that used more ports, I got one and it stopped the disconnects.
