Netduma losing internet at arandom times

[gearsniper550]

the only thing im using is my pc its the only thing connected to my r3

[Netduma Fraser]

Are there any devices still connected to the ISP router?

Does it happen at a similar time of day, using the same service, playing the same game etc?

[gearsniper550]

yeah just my mothers computer but i cant do anything to it because its her work computer, it happens at random but the only thing that is happening routinely is it happens when i turn on my pc

So does that mean it only happens initially when you turn your PC on? Is it more that it takes a minute or so to get a connection or that you have a connection initially and then it disconnects after 5 mins for example? Does it then only happen again another time when turning on instead of a few hours in etc?

yeah its been happening when i turn the pc on and then it goes in and out a few minutes then it stops and i keep the connection, then a few hours in to me using my pc it happens again.

Have you changed any settings on the PC itself for the internet adapter?

[gearsniper550]

I meant more in depth than that but if not that's fine. Do you have any devices that are yours that are connected to the ISP router that you could connect to the R3 to see if they get the same issue?

i could try my other laptop but it would be over wifi not ethernet

That's fine, as long as it is connected to the router, keep us posted!

[gearsniper550]

should i take off the dmz settings or leave them

[Netduma Fraser]

Still keep the router in the ISP modem/router DMZ

[gearsniper550]

it hasnt happened yesterday and the day before anymore but ill let you know if it does happen again

[Netduma Fraser]

Good to hear, fingers crossed its fine now

[gearsniper550]

is there a reason this was happening you can think of did the router malfunction or something else because this has never happened before

[Netduma Fraser]

Other than what I mentioned no not really, there is no reason it would disconnect regularly then suddenly stop unless the ISP modem was causing it and whatever the cause has now been resolved
