My internet has occasionally had problems with losing connection, once a week at most and I could easily solve it by resetting my router. Recently, my internet has been dropping out at least once every 10-20 minutes, no internet connection whatsoever. It will sometimes regain connection after a minute or so, but most of the time I have to go reset my router, what is going on?

Router: Netgear N600 Model: WNDR3800
Modem: Arris Model: TM822A
PC specs:
Intel Pentium G4400
Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI
EVGA SuperNova G2 750W
XFX RX 470
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB RAM
EnGenius 802.11n Wireless USB Adapter
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
ISP: Charter
Connection: Wi-fi

Try a wired connection to see if you have the same problem. Then read the following article. There's a lot more to any wireless setup than just your equipment. The entire radio spectrum environment in which it exists has effects on your connection. That includes neighbors, both residential, business, and any radio towers near you. If you happen to be in the landing pattern of an airport the planes flying overhead can also affect your system. It's all just radio.

Skip down to the section titled "A tale of two problems: Signal, and interference". Then you might want to read the entire article.

If you have a problem with your wired connection, contact your ISP.
