Internet cuts out almost every five minutes

I have been noticing that the DSL light on my modem keeps cutting out.  This problem began on Monday, June 23 and has been happening during peak hours every night since.  I did try resetting both the modem and router to no avail.  Any idea on how to fix this so that the Internet stops cutting out intermittently?

Are the drop-outs also associated with slow speeds? You might be suffering from a congestion issue that's rearing it's ugly head in a different way than what's normally seen. This is more likely to happen if you're on a remote terminal with a lot of customers feeding out of it.
If it's only happening at night, also see if it happens when the street lamps start to come on in your area. Weather, animals, or a bad street lamp could have started causing issues with your DSL at night as well.
Lastly, consider at least checking your phone for noise or static. When you kill the dial tone, the line must be absolutely clear. If not, you'll want to do your best to troubleshoot that, since it could also be related to the DSL dropping out.

  • WRT160N Internet cutting out every 10-20 sec

    I just got a brand new WRT160N, I have 3 computers hardwired to the router and one laptop on wifi. The 3 computers hardwired to the router have problems keeping the internet connected. Every 10-20 seconds the internet cuts out, then comes back. However the laptop has no problem at all, internet works fine and never cuts out.
    I got the new fimware, so the router is updated. Does the router not support a weird connection?

    Before you do that I would check to see if your router needs to go backwards on its firmware. Check the Linksys firmware help section.
     Some router’s new firmware is incompatible with some computer configurations and you may need a older firmware. I have to use an older firmware with my home network.

  • Internet cuts out opening new tab

    Hi every time I open a new tab in Firefox the internet cuts out for a minute or so, any ideas why?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • FaceTime audio keeps cutting out after a few minutes

    Every time I try to use FaceTime on my iPhone 4, the audio cuts out after 5-10 minutes or so.
    Even after hanging up and calling back, there is still no audio. The picture is fine, but I can't hear anything the other party is saying. They apparently can hear me fine, so it appears to be something with the speaker. However, the speaker works fine in every other app.
    I also tried using Skype, and it worked with no audio problems. So the issue is definitely isolated to FaceTime.
    I do not have this problem with my iPad. It works fine. I tried showing this to a genius at the Apple store, but they can't do anything because the phone is no longer under warranty.
    I tried wiping the phone clean, and setting it up as a brand new phone, and still have the same problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello 
    To get a better handle on the problem, connect at least one computer to the router using an Ethernet cable. This can help isolate the problem further.
    You can pretty much connect as many devices to the wireless side as you wish. The only problem you might encounter if you connect a large number of machines on the wireless side is lack of bandwidth. I can't imagine 5-6 machines on a wireless network would be a problem, unless one or two of them attempts a large file transfer. Even then, I would expect the wireless to be slow - not down.
    What version of firmware is in your WRT160N? How long have you had your router, and has it worked properly in the past?

  • Internet cuts out for 30 secs with powerline adapter PLSK400

    I recently just bought a powerline starter kit (PLSK 400) and I plugged one adapter into the router and into the electrical socket. (which is up stairs). I plugged in my other adapter downstairs in my room and it is hooked up to my PC and Playstation. 
    The only problem is that my internet cuts out every 20 mins for about 30 secs. This gets annoying cause I play games a lot on my desktop. Any reason why this may be happening?

    Hi paperstreet, to change channels you will have to access the PLW400 setup page first.

  • Firefox freezes every five minutes, "not responding" for about a full minute at a time then resumes, only to do it again five minutes later

    It's just random, about every five minutes everything just freezes. It's not my computer, just the browser. I get the (not responding) in the upper left corner of the browser. I have to keep waiting about a full minute for the browser to resume. This only started happening after I downloaded Firefox 7

    Did you give it a try to be sure that that isn't at least part of the problem?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Running labview program every five minutes

    I am very inexperienced with Labview, but I am attempting to build a program.  This program is to get measurements of frequency (can be used to determine strain) and resistance (can be used to measure temperature).  I got the program to work when I push a button on the front panel to start the process and then process data when I push another button.  I need to get this process to be automated because it needs to run for a long time.  I want to take measurements (frequency and temperature) every five minutes. Also, I need to have some delay (maybe 10 sec) before the data is processed because it take time for the data to be received.  Any help is appreciated. I attached the .vi Thanks!

    That is the understatement of the year!    Hidden wires everywhere.  I would love to see the tracing with highlite execution on.  SampleCount is a race condition just waiting to happen.
    To the OP:  Please think of us poor volunteers that have to waddle through this mess to try to help you.  We can't decipher code that has hidden wires, right to left wires, structures put on top of controls/indicators.  Please try to clean things up before posting.  In your case, a total re-write using a state machine is very appropriate.

  • Why is my ipad keep restarting almost every 5 minutes and also why is the screen not rotating.

    why is my ipad keep restarting almost every 5 minutes and also why is the screen not rotating.

    Nobody here can answer a question like that. Try rebooting your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • When watching movies over Wi-Fi on my AppleTV, it cuts out after a few minutes

    Whenever I watch a movie from my AppleTV, either via the "Movies" or "Computer" options, it keeps cutting out after a few minutes.
    However, if I play something on my iPad and send it to my AppleTV via AirPlay, the movie plays without any problems.
    What could be the problem?

    That would indicate an issue with the network.
    The Movies icon is streaming from icloud. I would verify your current connection using speedtest.net. Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network)
    The Computers icon is utilizing home-sharing to access your local content off your computer.
    Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.
    Try connecting via ethernet.

  • I am having problems with Apple tv radio. It cuts out after a few minutes this appears to have happened after update to IOS 8

    I Am having problems with the radio on the Apple TV cutting out after a few minutes. This has started to happen after software update to Ios8. Has anyone else had this problem and are Apple looking into fixing it?

    I am having the same problem also  Thought it was my network and reset everything including Apple TV but still the problem is there . I assume now it is down to iOS 8 prior to that was perfect

  • The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes.

    The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes. It sounds like all the low end is removed. I still hear audio but it is MUCH lower and sounds filtered. I can barely hear it maxed out. Nothing attached (no external drives, no speakers, etc) and it's only a few days old.

    Apple store pronto.  If need be (if less than 14 days from purchase) exchange for a new one!
    Ciao.

  • Is there any mac/iOS app or feature I can use to alert me every five minutes?

    I need an app or a feature on Mac, iPhone, or iPad that will send me a push notification or some kind of alert every five minutes.
    I would rather not set up a million calendar alerts or alarms, as I will have to be using this a lot.
    It will need to run in the background, especially if it's an ios app.
    I would rather not use an iOS app that makes noise but doesn't send a push notification.
    An iOS app is preferred, but anything works.
    System alternatives will be accepted as well.
    And no, I cannot simply ask Siri to do it, as I have tried in the past, and she says she can't do alerts that frequent.
    Thank you for the help!

    You could do this using AppleScript on your Mac.
    See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3718520/how-do-i-write-applescript-that-will- give-me-an-hourly-popup-alert for the basic code to do the repeating alert.
