Internet issues

[JLuchinski]

Sometimes my internet will stop working for about a minute, happens at random. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.

Are you connected to a router? If so, connect straight to the modem and see if it still disconnects.

It's a modem/router. It was working fine for a year then it started doing this the other day. I ran every scanner and no spyware/malware. Everything else goes with it to, Xbox live and cell phones when it happens so I know it's not the computer.

Call your provider and have them do a line test. if they report everything is fine, you may need to replace the modem/router.

Yeah I was thinking about upgrading, still rocking the wireless G. Thanks.

Check the cable if it is losing the connection try to create a new connector pr cut off the RJ45 and re cabling all you need is...

1. RJ45
2. CAT5e
3. Crimping tool

I would check to see if some app is connecting for updates (RSS sync? Google updater?).

Check with your service provider. What kind of internet do you have and who is your ISP? (Internet Service Provider).

It's DSL and it's through Telus. It seems to be fine today.
