Hello friends!
I have been recently having some very strange issues with my internet. This is a day in the life of my computer. I turn it on, and it says networks are available but I am not connected. I select my home network, although it usually does this automatically. It says that it cannot connect to my home network, so I open up the network sharing center, delete my router from the list, and attempt to connect to a neighbors network, then try to connect to mine, retyping in my password and such. At this point, it will say limited access on my network, although after waiting for 3-5 minutes it will begin working as normal. This is the only way I have found to make it work. Also, I do alot of gaming and I have been having some lag issues and I am very good about keeping my ISP in check by doing frequent speed tests, but lately they have been strange. This is an example: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3208678767 Weird right? My upload speed is higher than my download speed. Also, I do frequent ping test and I have no packet loss but my jitter can shoot up to around 130 ms. This is problem number one. Might I also add that the internet will work fine on other devices when my computer cannot connect to it.
Another issue, which may or may not be related, is with my router. Occasionally, usually after coming home from school and such, I will be connected to my internet but have no access. This is for all devices in the house not just my computer. Speedtest will say network communication issue. Then to fix this, I unplug the ethernet cord between my router and modem, wait about a minute or so, and plug it back in. This issue will also always occur after resetting the router/modem or removing the power from router/modem. This is not so much an issue, but more of just a nuisance.
I am currently running a Windows 7 pc that I built and rarely have issues with. I have a PCI card from TP link in my computer. I have a Cisco/Linskys router and my ISP is Knology or recently renamed Wow!. Thanks for the replies, please let me know what information you need to help resolve my issue.
