Internet connection keeps dropping at night

I'm having a bit of a weird problem with my internet connection. I connect via an ethernet cable and the connection keeps dropping. It generally starts after 7pm and seems to be every 40 minutes. I have changed the microfilters and ethernet cable but I'm still getting this problem. The really weird thing is that all four lights on the hub are blue but the computer cannot connect to the router. Sometimes the connection will just drop other times it will say limited connection. I've finally had to resort to windows diagnostics and sometimes even that doesn't work. I swapped my black hub with the old white one and  I didn't have this problem of the connection dropping but my connection speed dropped to 1.5 - 2mb.
I was thinking maybe there was something wrong with my ethernet card but now I think it must be something in the black hub because the white one worked. Am I correct in thinking I need a new router?

  • Internet Connection Keeps Dropping

    So for a couple of months now my internet connection has been randomly dropping out. It happens sometimes a couple of times a night, sometimes not at all. When the connection drops out the router seems to power off (all lights turn off, power light turns red). After a couple minutes the router seems to reboot and everything is fine. During this time FiOS TV continues to work.
    I have now had 3 new routers and new ONT. None of this has solved the problem. I have tried multiple coax lines and that hasn't solved the issue. I have tried moving the router to a location with better ventilation and that hasn't solved the issue. I have tried plugging the router into a UPS and that hasn't solved the issue. I have tried plugging the ONT into a UPS and that hasn't solved the issue.
    I am about ready to drop FiOS all together, a connection that randomly drops out multiple times a night just is not usable. I can't play any internet games for fear of getting disconnected, I can't watch videos without it stopping halfway through. I have a tech coming out Friday but I am not sure what they can do.
    Does anyone have some suggestions?

    Yeah, I have a suggestion, read this: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Verizon-FIOS-Router-Actiontec-MI424WR-GEN3I-Issue-Dropped...

  • Wh does the internet connection keep dropping on my macbook pro and mac pro

    I have a Mac pro, Macbook Pro and iphone. All have problems with the internet connection especially after any short period of in activity. My mac Pro is connected directly with an ethernet cable and the mac pro wireless. I have to go through system preferences network setup all the time to reconect. Soemtimes whn on email choosing take all accounts online does cause a reconnect but only after a minute or so wait.

    Done that.. many times... also did a lot of suggestions from other posts.. removing pls files etc.. nothing works and it seems to be something experienced by other.. mysstery is it happens on all 5 computers in the office.. my isp has no suggestions... the pro can loose connection and the macbook wifi is OK and the phone usually works OK but leave my Macpro for 5 minutes and `I need to reconnct using system preferneces...

  • BT Infinity connection keeps dropping between 5pm ...

    I went with infinity over 3 weeks ago, it's all very good but I noticed after 2 days that the connection keeps dropping at night times, this is more evident in browsingthe web, my online game does not seem to suffer from disconnections, only web browsing on my pc connected through Ethernet and my partners laptop/iPaD which connects over wifi.
    I don't seem to be getting anywhere with BT
    1st time I logged it was told to change the wireless channel by Some guy in India who could barely speak English , I tried to explain I wasn't even using wifi and it was happening, changed channel and no fix.
    2nd call and another India based person told me they had done a line test and found a fault, an engineer would go out and fix it in the morning, my fault was then closed, needless to say the problem continued..
    3rd call and open reach engineer came out today , did various tests, couldn't find any problems, I have a good throughput apparently, he said it must be radio interference?.
    I don't feel like i am getting anywhere with these, we do a lot of ebay and web browser based operations here and it's getting very frustrating after submitting data to be treated by  this webpage can not be displayed.
    My opinion is that there is an issue with connection and resyching of the modem as it is only happening in the evening when it's  at it busiest, the lights don't go out on the router during the 30 second dropouts, it happens at random times, last night at 11:45 and again at 11:55, tonight it's happened at 9:30 so far, expecting many more.
    Anybody any idea what could be causing this or any quick fixes, I am quite technical also

  • Internet Connection Sporadically Drops Out

    This problem has been ongoing for several months now.  Usually one or more times a day the internet connection will drop out, usually for a few minutes at a time.  Sometimes I get the yellow triangle in the taskbar, other times I don't.  I've gone back and forth with customer service several times.  Earlier this week they replaced my router to no avail.  They now tell me there are no connection drops or errors in the event logs and have tried to blame my computer/NIC.  I explained to them that it's not the connection between my NIC and the router that is breaking, but rather the connection between the router and the internet, or the connection between the router and the FiOS box.  Either way it's on the other side of the router.  I don't know why it doesn't show up in the event logs, but it is just about a daily occurrence.  So far the haven't even offered to sent a tech out.  I've gone back and forth like four or five times now, and I know the customer service reps are just trying to help, but so far it hasn't done any good.  The issue obviously needs to be escalated, so I figured I'd try here first.  Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?  Has anyone else ever experienced this problem and been told there's no flags or errors in the event logs?  Thank you for your help.

  • Phone line and BB connection keeps dropping - BT H...

    My broadband and phone connection keeps dropping.  Its been fine for years and now since all this bad weather we have been having the connection lasts temporarily for a few minutes sometimes more and then all the blue lights start flashing orange, sometimes for a while, and then back to blue.  Could it be that there is a wider problem in the area I am living in my area.  I have tried to report this to BT via the Indian call centre but the best they can offer me is an engineer visit on 20 January (!!) and I may have to pay £130 if the fault is found on my property so I would like to know first if there is a wider probelm affecting others in my area.  Many thanks.

  • 3G connection keeps dropping out after 4.2.1 update

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could help me.
    I have the iPhone 4, and it was working perfectly... until I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1.
    Ever since then, my 3G connection keeps dropping out, and I'm just left with vodafone UK (with usually 3-4 bar signal) but no 'o', 'E' or '3G' symbol.
    After about 20 minutes of no cellular data, I'd get the 'o' symbol, then 10 seconds later it would change to '3G'. But then after 5 seconds it would lose it. The cycle would continue in this way.
    Strangely, when at home, the 3G would stay connected. But when I go anywhere, I lose 3G.
    When I turn 3G off, I get constant 'o' connection where ever I go. It doesn't drop out.
    I've tried resetting the phone, and resetting network settings.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I'm having a similar issue with my new iPhone 4 (w/ 4.2.1)... It continually cycles through the following sequence:
    AT&T / 3G
    AT&T / No Data
    Searching…
    Searching… 3G
    AT&T / 3G
    (loops…)
    Here is a video of the cycling. Note the iPhone 4 is just sitting on a coffee table in my house.
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7186070/ip4fw421searching.mov
    Also worth noting, I just got the iPhone 4 and I updated it to 4.2.1 right away. Previously, I had a 3GS which did not exhibit any of this behavior in the same location in my house. Also, my girlfriend still has a 3GS and has FW 4.2.1 without these issues. I have a video of her phone in the exact same location taken just after the clip above and her phone maintains 3-bars / AT&T / 3G the entire time.
    I picked up the iPhone 4 while out of state over the holiday weekend and did not observe any of these connectivity issues, in fact the 3G throughput of the iPhone 4 was significantly better (consistently got >4 Mbps down / >800 Kbps up) than what my family members were seeing with their 3GS models.
    I believe it is a baseband issue introduced with the 4.2.1 update for iPhone 4, but I also strongly believe there is some tower component to this problem (ie, software revision at the tower or configuration).
    Like others here, I also performed a restore to 4.2.1 through iTunes and setup my phone as "New" and I continue to see the behavior. The phone is unusable in my house unless I manually disable 3G. As a final data point, when I'm able to maintain a 3G connection long enough in my house I get the following throughput from Speedtest.net: 1863 Kbps down / 543 Kbps up.

    My default internet connection keeps defaulting to a neighbors' network when left idle for a few minutes. How do I reset to use my network?

    Likely both of you have Open networks and the Mac is just connecting to the strongest one, hopefully it's just that.
    If you set a encryption and a password, then it shouldn't be doing this.
    WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
    If you can't do this yourself, then have a local geek come by and set you up.
    Also if you head to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced, there might be a connection list, you drag your connection to the top and remove the ones your not going to use.

  • Internet slow and wireless connection keeps dropping

    So, my iMac crashed and I had to reinstall. That really sucked.
    Pre-crash I was amazed by the speed and reliability of my internet connection. We're talking girlish glee.
    Post-crash/reinstall, my internet is a plodding monster that takes forever to load simple websites at times and drops the connection a couple of times a week.
    Can anyone help? I'm assuming it's a software issue since my wireless connection was fast and reliable before reinstalling.

    Hi,
    If you are still having problems.......
    I'm assuming it's a software issue since my wireless connection was fast and reliable before reinstalling.
    Try changing the Airport channel.
    Open AirPort Utility (Applications/Utilities)
    Select the device you’re setting up on the left and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
    If that doesn't help, on your iMac, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, restart the iMac.
