Help!

For some reason these past few days my internet or my PC is acting up. Im pretty sure its my net. But im constantly getting CI's in the game and having to restart my modem. Today it would cut off every 5 minutes. It would say I was connected to the internet but I couldn't fo anything on the internet. Any ideas?

Have you tried unplugging the modem for a minute, then plugging it back in? Sometimes the reboot mechanism fails to correct issues, but a full power down sorts it.

If your connection is wireless to your router try uninstalling wifi adapter then reinstall it

Wireless could be tricky if you have lot of stuff connected , like TV's garage opener , freezers , laptops cellphones other electronics even dishwasher could be connected etc.

At home Im hardwired to be straight linked to modem.

This is likely the issue. Routers dont last long from ISP's.

Thanks Bud. I will give them a call for that

Now that I think about it they sent me one with ISP ready to go, plug and play ... too say-just had to set passwords .

They will most likely tell u to try to do a full reset of the modem before they send out a new one but it is one of those things that stay on 24/7 and are only good for so many years.  And technology changes so fast i would say u should request a new one from your provider ever 4-5 years

Who is your Internet provider? Can you put the details of the modem/router? Do you have fiber or cable internet? Can you run a ping to google?

 

ping google.com -n 1000

 

 how many packets do you lose? 

 

configure your DNS on your windows machine to something other than your ISP's. Use Cloudfare or Google.

I go through Spectrum which here in Montana is the best you can get. Im gonna order a better router off Amazon I think and try that. I'll also look at what you sent as well.

Check to see if Spectrum has any specific router specs you need to match

My dad walked me through how to put it straight to my modem and it worked great. Ordered an ethernet cord will be here Tuesday. Should be better.
