Hi all,
I've been searching the forums trying to find something that fits my case, and the closest I came was here: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2956565/intermittent-connection-sec-minutes.html
Mine doesn't seem to be *that* bad where it's timing out consistently like that person's, however, it does do that on occasion.
I have my Fios Quantum connection going from the Verizon-supplied/purchased modem to a Nighthawk R7000 router, if that's of any concern. The issue I'm having, however, is with my ethernet/wired connection. The hub is upstairs in the attic. So wires are going from modem, up to switch in attic, down to office, into another switch, which then feeds multiple computers.
I get connection fine, for the most part, but within the last couple weeks, it will time out for no reason whatsoever and has really inhibited my work. I've called Fios and done line tests, re-set the modem (and the router, but again, not on wifi, so it shouldn't be the problem). According to an answer from the poster, listed above, line checks are basically a sham and he was recommended to have them come out to his home.
I wanted to ask the community their opinion first, before I resort to that. I did a ping -t google.com and it worked perfect for about 45 seconds before I started getting a "destination not reachable" response, and then a "Request timed out" and then it resumed giving me good pings again.
*I thought it might be the ethernet port, so I changed that out, too, by the way. Wifi signal is perfect and there's nothing wrong with that--it's just the wired connection. Nothing has changed at all, insofar as configuration of the network, no wires have been touched, cables have been checked and are functioning properly with a tester. Just confused as to what's going on with these random timeouts.
Any help would be appreciated. Can post readouts from ipconfig or whatever is necessary as well. Thanks, all!
