A weird issue has popped up with my home network recently that I can't even begin to speculate about. At odd times of the day, all web browsers on the network, whether connected through wired or wireless, lose their connection to the internet and then only occasionally pick it back up before dropping again. If I reset my router, either everything will be perfectly fine, or the problem will crop up again after 20 or so minutes.
Here's the thing: Steam, online games, IM programs, ANYTHING else that connects to the internet still functions perfectly fine. I've tried Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and IE on Windows as well as Safari and Firefox on Mac, and all of them experience the same connection-dropping issue. Other online programs on both operating systems still work perfectly fine.
I've checked the settings on every browser, the hosts file, and the router settings, and there's nothing out of the ordinary.
I'd appreciate any suggestions/help. I'm getting incredibly tired of quitting out of online games because everyone on the network is suddenly unable to use web browsers.
