Network/Internet unstable

[Rothingham]

Hey everyone,

 

Lately my internet connection has been pretty bad.

What do I mean by bad? I get disconnected every 10-15 seconds (sometimes its even worse) for about 2-3 seconds.

I have a desktop. Some useful specs:

Mobo: Asus P9X79 Pro

System: Used to have Win 7 professional x64, now Win 10 pro x64

 

So, when I first had the problem I was running Win 7.

What I tried:

• Installing new/older network driver
• Used an ethernet -> usb cable, which I connected to pretty much every usb on my pc (got a lot on the back and some on the front, USB2.0/USB3.0)
• I upgraded to Win 10, hoping that that'd do something

Nothing helped to solve the problem.

 

I then connected my ethernet cable to my laptop, and although the speed is pretty bad, there were no disconnections here.

 

Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? Could the problem be that my motherboard is broken (Keep in mind that the problem is the same when using the mobo-ethernet connection and the ethernet->usb cable)?

 

 

If you need some other info, just ask!

If you are connected to a router which is then connected to a modem try this.....

1. Unplug the modem power cord 
2. unplug the router's power cord
3. wait 30 seconds plug in the modem's power cord and then press the modem's reset button and hold it down for a minute then let it initialize fully 
4. plug in the router's power cord  and let it initialize
5. this is crucial......make sure you type these commands in cmd(command prompt) with administrator rights in this order and with the space inbetween ipconfig and the slash....... ipconfig /release then ipconfig /flushdns then wait like 10 seconds then type ipconfig /renew
6. navigate to the network adapter you are using in your Network Connections, select it and then choose disable
7. wait 10 seconds and then select enable
8. restart your PC
9. test your internet to see if you still get the problem, if not   if you do get the same issue then do this but only if you haven't gotten any good results
10. type this.....netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt in your administrator level command prompted and do another restart of your PC

Thank you. But sadly no progress whatsoever

Do you have the latest LAN, Chipset and BIOS drivers for Win10?

Yep...

[Leonard]

Yep...

Try running the Windows Diagnose feature and see what it finds. Just right click your adapter in use and then choose Diagnose and follow the window that pops up.

 

A call to your ISP couldn't hurt.

Problem solved.

 

Turns out our WiFi router was malfunctioning and that messed up the whole connection.

Time for a new one I guess

A call to the ISP helped me to find the source of the evil dwelling in my house.

Thanks!
