Hey all

I am having an issue where when i download something over 1gb my computer loses connection to the internet my other devices are working fine just my desktop. I am using a lan cable connected through a Internet over power adapter.

 

anyone had this issue or know a fix ?

Is it completely disconnecting or is the download just interrupted? If its just interrupted, I would be willing to bet its dropping the connection often and you simply don't notice because it reconnects. Either way, I think its likely your adapter causing the issue. I haven't seen any thing like this caused by a computer itself and if the other devices work I doubt its your ISP or router. If you can try another means of connection, do so first to be sure, but I'd start looking at other adapters...or just another solution since internet over power has a bad reputation.

its completely disconnecting it does not reconnect i have to reboot to get connection back. i am not that far from the router only reason why i have the adapter because i cant run the lan cable down hallway properly people will be tripping over it.

Powerline adapters, look to see if they have an updated firmware available for them.  May assist with drops under high network load, some of the older Solwise 200M series I have seen had problems with maxing throughput for any extended period.  To where the unit had to be powered off and on to rectify, the firmware flash sorted it though even though no mention of the 'fix' was present in the firmware readme.

I had changed the adapters to new one since the first post and it does the same thing now one of my friends seem to say its the lan port on my motherboard could that be a factor? my motherboard is a GA-Z77-D3H Gigabyte
