It started last night around 6 and hasn’t stopped
Things that i done before it started happening – Downloaded the new episode of the american office and plugged and unplugged my ps3 controller many times.
Things i have done so far to fix it – Scanned my computer in case its any malware, reset my router many times unplugging everything. i left my router on over night to see if it would fix its self (no luck ofc). Un screwed both arials from the router and switched them over. Also pressed the reset button on the router.
Things you may want to know – I am with virgin media on some ancient tariff but i have never ever had this problem before. I have the used a network cable to connect to router and still the same problem. My iphone drifts in and out of connection just like my comuter. I have a brand new computer with a brand new network card. My computer doesnt say its lost connection it will got like full bars (5/5) then go down to 3/5 then go back, it will never go down to lost connection.
If you need anymore info please let me know i wrote this in a rush cause i tried to get loads of info down with out forgetting.
tbh it looks like its WAN but i cant really tell. When it drops, it drops for like 20-40 seconds and i cant connect to anything, steam friends go offline etc, but nothing is changing in the bottom right icon. Same thing happens on my mums laptop
Also windows 7 64bit
The cable isnt long enough to skip the router. Don’t want to buy a new router if i dont have too
bump it looks like my router connects and disconnects. do you think i need anew router?
Have you checked with your ISP yet to see if they have issues on their end? They might already be working on it.
