Hi all, I've got a problem whereby the internet to my PC is dropping out (about every 10-15 mins for about 30seconds)
The Problem only started yesterday and is really frustrating as i now get kicked out of my work program and all progress lost. I have a Netgear D6300 only 2 months old.
What i've tried: New Ethernet cables, Running on wifi, turning off the wifi and leaving my computer as the only thing connected in the house (via Ethernet) Rebooted the modem Many times, Nothing i can find seems to work, I am the only connected user that is dropping out so i am unsure what is the problem, any advice would be GREATLY appreciated Thanks

Hi, what OS are you running on the PC? That information may prove essential. I would start by updating all network drivers and installing all pending OS updates.

I would also try disabling auto-negotiate in the adapter settings for all your network interfaces, I’ve seen some issues like the one you’re describing in the past due to auto-negotiate problems between NIC and switch.
