Intermittent connection since FF7

Since FF7 was released, i get really intermittent connection to the browser. That is to say, for instance, a movie stream will abruptly terminate or websites will stop loading altogether. For instance, at random intervals, i'll try to go to google.com and it'll say "connecting" as if im not connected to the internet. But I try in IE and it works just fine. Then I restart the browser by closing all windows and all is well again. What is the issue?
Using Win 7.

I have had that problem ever since 6 came out, 7 did not fix it. So I went back to 5. The moment I went back it was all fixed. I thought it was me, I thought it was my isp. But everything else would work fine, it was JUST Firefox 6 & 7. Take it back to 5. I was lucky enough to still have it stored. You will find it goes away. They need to fix the issue.

  • Latency and Intermittent connection since 24th of July.

    There is a large tree branch leaning on the cable wire in the back rinning from the main box to the pole. The wire looks intertwined in smaller branches and a larger branch leaning heavily on it making like a v effect.  This would cause noise frequency and an intermmittent connection according to what I read online. Accordingly any weight on a cable wire would cause for an signal interference. The area was affected by several outages in the last 2 weeks, which appeared to be resolved, one which was a lightning strike on one of the Nodes. I believe there still be something wrong because others in the area are getting intermittency and weak signals at certain times and not others.  Since I use the internet for work purposes I need the connection to provide over 100mbps of download at least 99 percent of the time. This is what I am paying for. I am getting 30 at times and 100 at others causing it to be difficult to do my job.  I have had the service checked several times and they keep reporting yellow signal of high noise frequency comming to the co-axle from somewhere. There were not able to pin point it, but the large tree branch may be the issue.  After speaking to several reps. over the last 2 weeks and reporting the need to free the drop wire from the tree branch at least a dozen times to reps in technical support, I found out yesterday that there is no NOTES taken anywhere on the account reporting a tree branch issue. This convinced me that comcast is falsifying/modifying the support call notes for some reason. In fact since the 29th of July when a technician took pictures of the issue and allegedly reported this to maintenance, NOTHING has been done about the tree branch or the latency and intermittent connection I still have.  I also had a major CREEPY experience with the technician that came out here that day.  I now have an appointment for Monday which was rescheduled again from Thursday without notice and I waited hour on Thursday for someone to show up, but no one did and they rescheduled it until Monday without an explanation. Supervisor said it might be because they needed a bigger team to come out on Monday. If this is not taken care of on Monday Corporate will be hearing more of me.

  • RV320 Intermittent connectivity issues

    We have been having intermittent problems with internet (WAN) connectivity on my wife's small business computer network.  Connectivity will be fine for a day or so, and then we will have a period of poor and frequently interrupted connectivity.  I have our router (a Cisco RV320K9NA) set to send me notifications about problems, and when our internet connection is disrupted, I receive the following notifications from the router:
    Mar 28 07:31:11 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log:  NSD FAIL WAN[1]
    Mar 28 07:32:11 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log:  NSD SUCCESS WAN[1]
    Mar 28 07:36:05 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log:  NSD FAIL WAN[1]
    Mar 28 07:39:08 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log:  NSD SUCCESS WAN[1]
    Mar 28 07:39:48 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log:  NSD FAIL WAN[1]
    Mar 28 07:40:58 2015 routeree1df4 Network Log:  NSD SUCCESS WAN[1]
    The above is a sample, there are many more notifications of this type in the log.
    Our network configuration is as follows:
    Our internet provider's cable modem is connected to our router, which is connected to a Netgear ProSafe 24 port switch.  All of our network devices and computers are connected to the switch.
    We have tried many things to fix this problem.  Our internet provider (Time Warner) has replaced their cable modem. We have replaced our router.  My wife increased the speed of our network connection based on usage data from the internet provider. I have replaced the ethernet cable between the router and the cable modem.
    We have not been able to reproduce the connectivity problem when we directly connect a laptop to the cable modem, so the internet provider has decided that the issue must be internal to our network and/or router, washing their hands of the whole problem.
    I'm technically proficient, but I'm no networking technician, so I'm looking for help and suggestions to fix this problem.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you can offer.

    No, it was wireless. Here is the same test run whilst wired in. I don't understand this though. I wasn't complaining about the speed? I was complaining about the general intermittent connectivity issues we experience, and the regular lack of availability the service provides. Perhaps these are standard tests you have to run beforehand?
    The last time I complained about my connectivity issues was in February. If you have access to the ticketing tool, you'll be able to see the nature of my complaint. It was ticket number: VOL051-4263008159178. Something was "done at the exchange" and someone logged onto my HH3 and changed the wireless channel and that "fixed" it. Trouble is, it's been the same ever since. We have a few hours where the connection is stable, then we'll start to get packet losses when trying to connect to sites like Google.co.uk, Bt.com etc etc.
    I'm no expert, but this is clearly more than an issue with the wireless channel and some spurious problem at the exchange. This is a continuing nightmare for us which is preventing us from accessing the internet for hours at a time and therefore taking full advantage of the services we pay a lot of money for!

  • Intermittent connectivity issues

    So I had a Motorola SB 6120 modem working for over 4 years with Comcast and all of the sudden I start getting intermittent connectivity issues at night (it could be during the day as well, but I am actively working and doing school work at night). The issue comes and goes. I call Comcast and they swear up and down its my modem - which I dont believe since Im the connectivity issues are not fixed by resseting it, just waiting it out. I go ahead and get a new modem (SB6141) and router - spending over $200 and guess what - still having the identical issue. I call in and the support person states that as far as the modem goes everything is fine but the signal is dropping (same issue, two different conclusions after a good amount of arguing on my end and $200 I wont see back). So I tech comes back but I have to be at work and leave my wife and brother in law at home to make sure he comes by. When I get home apparently the tech had stated that "the modem was not correctly registered". That means that my other modem wasnt? And that an uncorrectly registered modem works from time to time? ... Really? So I try to do a live chat since again, I have to work and cant waste my entire day waititing for comcast to fess up and admit their service is the issue. And here is the part of the conversation in which I basically gave up hope on getting anywhere:Akemi: Sometimes if your modem is plugged to Comcast outlet you should be also receiving inetrnet signals, but then becasue if it is not properly registered you will be expriencing intermittent connection.----------------------------------------------------------MARCOS: ok, let me see if i can get itMARCOS: meanwhile, can u tell me how my modem may have been "incorrectly registered" and still working for over 30 daysAkemi: Much appreciated, thank you so much.MARCOS: and how that can be the cause of intermittent issues - since it seems like a lieAkemi: Sometimes if your modem is plugged to Comcast outlet you should be also receiving inetrnet signals, but then becasue if it is not properly registered you will be expriencing intermittent connection.MARCOS: that makes no sense. that modem was not working WHATSOEVER until I called. the modem shouold have been blocked by the MAC addressMARCOS: should*MARCOS: otherwise any1 can get comcast tv, plug in a router from best buy and have internetAkemi: Thanks for the info.---------------------------------------------------------Can someone help? Am I missing something?

  • Intermittent connections to internet with WRT54G

    I installed a new unit and I am experiencing intermittent connections to my DSL modem.  When the unit quits the WLAN light goes out.  I can hit the reset button on the back and the unit will work again for a while.  I have also noticed that when I hit the reset button the WLAN light starts dim and then brightens after the reset.  Anybody have any suggestions?

    I used to have this problem all the time with my old laptop using a PCMCIA card.  I discovered that the problem was the version of the driver I was running.  The only thing I can suggest would be to make sure you have the latest drivers for all your LAN cardsd, and the latest firmware for the router.  I have had no problems since.

    So disappointed with IOS 6.  I'm having weak wifi connection since upgrading to it.  Can Apple do something about it? Can you at least reset it to IOS 5.1.1?

    Sorry Jim for the wrong question because I'm getting frustated with my IPAD since I can't use it for surfing internet with a faster speed.  Ipad was very convenient to use until this IOS 6 upgrade.  Tried all the suggestions in the forums but still gets back to weak wifi connection.

  • Intermittent connection issue

    I am having connection issues again as I did 2 years ago. The connection gets dropped intermittently. Sometimes the modem has a red light on the internet indicator and other times the DSL blinks and won't sync. The tech gave me a new modem, but I still have the same problem. 2 years ago the problem got resolved when they switched me to another line. I keep a spreadsheet on the tranceiver stats. The margin dB varies 20.2/21 (down/up) to 8.8/21 to 18.1/29 for instance. Line attenuation stays pretty much the same between 51.4/29 (down/up) to 49.4/29. Tranmit power varies 9.3/11.9 to 15.7/11.9 to 16.2/11.9 (down/up). I cannot seem to get someone to fix the line issues coming to my home. How can I get this fixed?
    Craig

    No, it is still ongoing. I have a field tech working on it. I was away for some days so couldn't respond. As you know about the intermittant connect problem because of an unconditioned line. Also, I was unable to obtain 1.5Mb/sec connect speed and Verizon only gave me 1.1Mb/sec. This week I am unable to connect at that speed and is now only 0.928Mb. I don't know why this happened, but I can tell you I am unsatified with this connection. I am really unhappy with not being able to get a measly 1.5Mb/sec connection speed when the rest of the world is getting 50Mb/sec or greater speeds.
    As a stock holder of Verizon I am even more disappointed in their neglect with the DSL service. I am working on a letter to investor relations on this matter.

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update

    Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!

    If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
    that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
    In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
    It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
    Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
    The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
    The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
    Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
    To be just like the rest.

  • Wireless Problem intermittent connection

    Hi,
    We have three WLC on our network that runs all at the same time. We experienced intermittent connectivity and all we did was reload the WLC3 to make it normal again. I attached the logs of the three WLC below. Hope someone can help. Thanks!

    Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
    the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
    router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
    cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
    to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
    in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!! & according to your Internet Service Provider configure the router & you should be able to go online wirelessly without any issue.

  • E1500 -intermittent connection

    I have been using this router for about 9 months now and it was great in the beginning. About 3 months back I started experiencing intermittent connection issues with the wireless connection. It slowly degraded over the next few months to the point that the wireless signal can only be obtained about 50% of the time and when connected the speed is all but non-existent. At this point I am forced to use a wired connection to ensure that I have a stable connection. I am so annoyed I am going to hard wire my whole house and switch the router to b/g only for when guests are over to make use of the limited functionality of this router (that is provided that what has been said in other reviews actually works). I can assure Linksys/Cisco of one thing however, this was my first and last purchase of their products.

    First of all please verify that you have got a 802.11n card in your computer. New generation routers (i.e. E4200) speaks an entirely different language than 802.11g cards, so while those adapters can work with the E4200 for example, they are not optimized to work with it. It is like having to translate from one language to another in real time when going from N to G... So in those cases the old router will show a stronger signal than the new one.
    SECOND, make sure the adapter driver is up to date.
    Try to do the following steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
              1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
              2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
             3] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
     For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
     For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

  • DNS errors + Intermittent Connectivity Help

    For the last 5 days my internet has had intermittent connectivity. It is throughout my entire home network of internet access. We have not had any storms or changes to our settings or connections for it to be anything on our network. This issue also happened in the past. Then after X amount of days, it was magically be fixed. When the internet does work, there are no issues and it works fine, which again makes me think it is not on our end and it is Verizon's fault.
    When I check the system log of my modem, it has a TON of "DNS request timeouts" or errors saying some other stuff about DNS issues.
    My modem/router is Actiontec GT704-WG, I also don't use Wireless internet which is usually related to intermittent connections but that shouldn't be the case.
    So is this an issue with Verizon's lines/ servers / connections? Or is it actually something wrong with my network?

    It is probably a network issue, but the first step is usually to rule out the local equipment, so restarting the PC and the modem/router is a good starting point.
    I have yet to come to encounter an ISP that competently manages their DNS equipment, and you will find a number of Verizon Techs who post here who will tell you to change from the Verizon automatically assigned DNS's to Open DNS.
    visit www.opendns.com for detail instructions on how to do so. I changed to open DNS months ago.
    So if you still have a problem after you have rebooted the equipment, and changed to OpenDNS, it is almost certainly a Verizon network issue, although convincing Verizon of that can be quite challenging.
    Good luck
