Internet connection

Merry Christmas everybody!

 

I have to write this fast, because after about 2 mins on my pc the internet always goes away, a little orange triangle shows up and I have to restart my computer all over. This happens from time to time. What causes this?

 

I can't write any more, please help!

Ethernet or wifi?

Wifi will be 90% just connection error due to bad signal ext.

If it's Ethernet it'll be more complicated due to the fact they hardly ever fail. In any case, boot into safe mode, do a virus scan, update NIC/Motherboard drivers.

Its wifi, but it's the computer, since every other device works just fine.

What card?

Try putting you phone or smaller mobile device in the same area as your PC and run a speed test.

If you can get a better result with the phone in a open area then it's the bad connection.
If results are same or very similar then it's just your PC and you'll have to dive deeper.

When does this happen? Randomly or doing something specific like uploading, streaming ext?

afaik, the yellow triangle is a "Limited Access" error, try googling "your NIC + limted access windows" or "your NIC + (what ever happens to trigger it here)".

Would do a driver update just to be safe.

It happens around 20:00 til 01:00

 

And it can't be bad connetcion since I've been playing games and such from this exact spot for years.

 

And I can't see any need for driver updates, it says they all have the latest versions.

When I log on my router it says my pc is connected. But it is something wierd going on, my pc's name comes up twice, but with diffrent MAC adresses. it is as if I am connected with two units in one.

If it's timed so well and very consistent it sounds like a router error.

My server ext that were hosted on my PC all went down last week, after I checked it, my phone grabbed my IP while my PC was still on for some mad reason. It dropped from 10.0.0.2 straight to 10.0.0.38. I had to change all my port forwards ext and restart my PC and router.

Try seeing what devices are online while it happens and keep an eye on your internal and external IP.

It seems to let go now, I'll probably come bac tomorrow and complain again. Meanwhile, I will try to fix the problem.
