David I love your answer.

I told them my house wiring does not change at 5 PM

2 cents from down under this happens in this small town to and it is usually old wiring and the time of day one hooks up. Our system here runs through repeaters that are also old and in need of replacing as I don't think we are getting optic in any immediate future.

I tried Netgear and another flop of the provider and eventually got my TP-Link which apart for the occasional reset for ten seconds hasn't missed a beat.

For my money the problem lies in either the provider, modem or the wire attachment.

But I think also that TZ was right in getting the Comodo shut off too.

I've tried new modem/routers numerous times one time I will try their Netgear 7550 and when I get disgusted with it I'll get their Pace 4111N. Changing modem/routers in the past has never fixed the problem.

I've been using the Netgear 7550 since last August replacing a Pace 4111N. I changed at the time because the AT&T tech came to my house and said he couldn't find anything wrong with my line so he just gave it to me. All the other times I've had to buy them but it never makes a difference which modem/router I use.

The Netgear seems to drop my connection or affects my ability to load web pages for up to a minute and then reconnects. The Pace if I remember correctly would drop the connection maybe not as often but when it did would require me to unplug and plug it back in.

Up until a couple of years ago (maybe longer) I had their 2Wire modem/router and had absolutely no problems at all. When they discontinued the 2Wire they replaced it with the Netgear and then started to carry the Pace also. Now the 2Wire was getting pretty dated (dont think it had N) but it was their best modem/router.

Since changing from the 2Wire to their newer modem/routers the only other difference is I have a different PC and we probably have more devices connected.

By the way i uninstalled the Comodo firewall and it made no difference.

Just so I have it right you cable all the house devices?? If so disconnect all but your main machine and see what happens. If the problem remains at least it eliminates the other devices interfering with the net connection. I only ask because e of concerns over how the cabling was carried out.

Already tried this it does not change things.
