    Internet Issues


    Hello all, i've been snooping around and cannot get an answer for my problem.

    I just built my pc about a month or so ago and the internet ran perfectly. I run 2 computers (hard-wired) through a router.

    Here lately my computer if it rebooted it would take 1-2 days before the computer would actually let me access the internet. Sometimes it would try to load a page at painfully slow speeds and then die.

    Now, if i plug my computer into the router the other computer can't access the internet at all either. So i plug my new pc directly into the modem and i can SUPER low/slow speeds to nothing at all.

    I also had a USB to Ethernet plug that i had plugged into my front USB to try to access the internet and that created a whole new list of problems. But after removing that USB to Ethernet plug the issues went away. And it still didn't connect me online.

    I have tried everything i can think of or find and still nothing works. I need some experts advice here...any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Silly question... have you spoken to your ISP? the fact that both computers are suffering suggests its a problem on their end.

    I haven't called them. The internet works perfectly when i plug my other PC into either the router or straight to the modem. The problem comes in when i try to plugin my new PC to the router...then both can't access. And if i straight wire my new pc to the modem, it still won't access the net. It'll have a very low to no connection at all.

    well as a long shot... try updating your LAN driver. you don't say whether you have 32 or 64 bit windows, so click the one thats relevant to you: ASRock > Products > Motherboard > H55DE3 > Download

    I'd did that a couple days ago..and oddly enough i'm on the new pc now.

    It's really weird as how sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'll grab the LAN drivers again and maybe something can be done. And i'm on Home 64bit. Thanks for the help so far!

    Faulty Cable maybe? change the ethernet cable out just to check.

    edit: removed the router bit, i forgot about your modem issues too

    I think I've given all the advice i can... im going to ask some of our other senior members to take a look see if they can suggest anything

    It sounds like a modem issue to me. I suggest contacting your ISP and getting a new one.

    In the mean time, try aiming a fan at it, just to make sure it's not overheating.

    I'll go out and grab new cables and possibly a router later today.

    Thanks so much for all the help still!
