Internet Connection Keeps Dropping
It is very random, but my panoramic modem/router will just drop internet connection. This started about 3 months after I started service with Cox. It may happen 5-10 times in a row, or not at all for...

I've been seeing the same thing recently. Some days are good, others really bad where I have internet connectivity one minute and the next it is gone. I see occasional tears and freezes watching TV through my cable box, too. My work computer will "ding" every time the VPN reconnects and it was doing it all day yesterday.. I've restarted the cable modem and router several times.
My main cable line comes into a splitter when it enters the house with one side going to the modem and mini-boxes and the other through an amp to the big cable boxes - exactly as the Cox tech set it up when it was installed.

Are you able to bypass your router and VPN just to see if you have the same issue?

It was happening with or without the VPN, it is just that the VPN makes the network drops more obvious. The router shows No internet connection when this happens.
- @Gilznorph,
Thanks for letting us know. Can you bypass the splitter and plug the coax directly into the wall from the modem?
