Internet Connection Drops Every Hour on The Hour for about 30 seconds
My computer uses a wired connection. This problem just started happening in the last week after doing some Windows Updates. I noticed my internet connection would drop every hour on the hour at :09. Such as 6:09, 7:09, 8:09. etc. It comes back on by itself after about 30 seconds. I did some research on Google and it said to do this: Method 2: Reset Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) The reset command is available in the IP context of the NetShell utility. Follow these steps to use the reset command to reset TCP/IP manually: 1. To open a command prompt, click Start and then click Run. Copy and paste (or type) the following command in the Open box and then press ENTER: cmd 2. At the command prompt, copy and paste (or type) the following command and then press ENTER: netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt Note If you do not want to specify a directory path for the log file, use the following command: netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt 3. Reboot the computer." http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/internet-disconnects-every-hour-for-a-second-then/92bb822d-112a-4c50-97e7-5f7be1152105?page=1 I followed that and it fixed the problem. However after doing another Windows Update the problem returned and I was losing the internet connection every hour at the :45 mark. I did the procedure again and it stopped losing connection at :45.However I fear it will return. I'm not looking forward to having to do this constantly every time I do a Windows Update, as you know there are almost daily Windows Updates. I logged in my Zoom Cable Modem/Router log and saw the below critical errors. What can you tell from this and what advice can you give to fix the problem?
Random Disconnects Every Few Minutes
I'm currently experiencingdisconnects that can interrupt video streaming and disconnect me from online games. It's not the "worst" problem in the world, but I'm paying a pretty high monthly, so I'd think this wouldn't be an issue. I'm going to make a guess and say that it's the cable line (I had MUUUUCCCHH worse connection with a COX modem, and so switched to a NetGear 6220 which has worked out better for the most part) .. During December and early January, with the colder temps, I'd lose all network access through the night until the next day, usually starting at 9 - 10 PM. It hasn't happened recently, but I have been having instances for the past few weeks where I've lost connection for as long as 10 seconds, and it would interrupt anything that was downloading or requiring constant contact with servers (Discord, Twitch, any or all Online Games, Netflix). I've been monitoring my modem during these instances, and it looks like it's remaining online (as in no random reboots), so the Modem at-current is working as intended. I've done modem reboots (both locally and through Cox.Net's site), and I've even gone through Modem cache dumps. I've unplugged and replugged cables on the modem to no effect. It effects BOTH Wi-Fi and Direct connections, so it's not a hiccup in Wi-Fi (I get those from time to time, but that shouldn't bother a Desktop PC that's directly connected to the Modem). Cables connected to the wall and to my various devices/power connection all look in good shape, so it's not these things either. Firmware is up-to-date on the Modem, as per what Cox has listed for automated updates on said Modem Brand/Version. Not sure what else to add, but I'm willing to answer further questions to get this fixed.
Drops me from the Internet during Multiplayer PC Gaming. Losing stats and causing game suspensions (bad rep)
I have an issue that's been going on for 6 months now. I've purchased several Routers, a new 3.1 cable modem (Arris Panaromic modem) but it still drops my connection right in the middle of gaming. This has caused several suspensions from multiplayer games and left a reputation that I leave during play. I get the same excuse on the phone that a technician needs to come look at the lines. Well I've had several technicians come to my house over the last 5 months. They all do something, but I still suffer from disconnects. One technician said it was my router that was bad, but I just pulled it out of the box. Then he switched to maybe there is an issue beyond our house because the line from my modem to wherever tested good. I don't know what to do because Cox is the only one that can bring high-speed internet to my neighborhood. I got to cable modem status page and I see the following items when I get a disconnect (Removed anything referencing a mac/HW address): 9-5-2018, 14:33:16 Warning(5) "Dynamic Range Window violation" 9-5-2018, 14:33:16 Warning(5) "RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power in Excess of 6 dB Below the Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW;" 9-5-2018, 14:33:15 Critical(3) "No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out;" 9-5-2018, 14:33:9 Notice(6) "DS profile assignment change.
