You could have a bad port on the router. Mark that port so you don't use it again.
Here we go again.
I have to unplug=>plug the cable on both ends couple of time until it connects.
And as always with the wifi,it works without any problems when I connect the adapter
The possibilities are,the lan card,the cable or some windows settings\drivers
Hmm, maybe you can download and make a bootable Linux Mint Mate DVD/USB and boot with it (no installation needed). See if it will connect fine. But not sure if this will help your case. Perhaps if no connection is persistent after reboots when it happens...
Another thing that comes to mind is maybe the modem/router needs a factory reset.
vsub, have you bought that cable yet?
No but the problem becomes even weirder
The WiFi router have a light diode(like any other router)that is telling me to which port the pc is connected.
This is the second day I'm seeing the same behavior.
The indicator at around 6:00 - 6:30 in the morning shows that the pc is not connected.
1.If I don't turn on the pc and wait till 6:40 or 7 at max,the connection will be restored
2.If I turn on the pc between 6 and 6:30 and do nothing,the connection will be restored after a while
What's up with that????
If the pc is turned on before that time or not turned off at all,the problem will not appear
And here's what happen this morning.
I wake up 6:20 and the indicator on the router said that there is no connection.
At 6:25 the indicator started blinking(the pc is still off)and then it stayed on.
I can't understand how can this be related to cable(if it is because of it)
Do you have some time of the day restriction set on your router perhaps? just guessing...
No...the pc,the router and so on are mine and no one else is using them
Just a thought.
Is their a possibility that your I.S.P. has some sort of restrictions that are being applied? It seem that things are happening at a very exact time.
Exactly where is your location?
Who is your I.S.P.?
Ok,problem solved.
The problem was the cable AND the bed.
One of the bed legs was flattening the cable and when I was in the bed it was enough weight to flatten the cable enough for the problem to appear.
vsub, that's great to hear, although it took a while to convince you it could be the cable. Glad you're done with that.
Take it easy.
