I've been having a problem with my networking periodically. But it only happens in one location. When I am at other places I don't see it happen. Because the Internet provider here is not so perfect, I keep a command window open with a 1 second ping running on 8.8.8.8 which is a major server that should never go down. The symptom I see is this ping starts timing out or at least the times go way up from 20-40 ms range to quad digits. This is concurrent with all the web apps losing access to the Internet, browser, email, newsreader... I originally thought it was the ISP since I don't see the problem when I am at other locations. But I opened browser tabs to the router and modem only to find I have no access to them either while this is happening. So it must be something in my PC or possibly the router. When the connection is restored the router is in the same context it was before the disruption, so the router isn't rebooting. The wifi connection is 5 of 5 bars. This condition can last a few seconds to a few minutes. Sometimes this seems to be triggered by clicking a link in a browser, but it often happens randomly. I'm pretty much at a loss to figure out what is causing this. Any suggestions? Is there something in the PC that could cause this? I guess I do have one idea, buy a new router and see if that is the problem. This router is 15 years old, so a new one wouldn't be a total waste. I'm really surprised to see some of the fancy dancy routers costing $200 and up. I got this one for free, but I guess I'll have to buy one for $50 ballpark. -- Rick C
