    Please help with Internet issue I can't sort out


    Hey guys, I'm battling with a crappy internet connection issue and I just cannot get to the cause.
    I run 2 hubs at home, one is fully connected and the other serves as a wifi access point, my main machine is connected to this secondary hub. The system has been fine for years but a few weeks back I had all manner of problems after the other half did a factory default restart in the second hub.
    Ever since setting the system up again my desktop pc randomly drops the Internet contection, only for a few seconds at a time but it can be frustrating as all h**l when chrome can't even load a page no matter how many times I refresh.
    So for I have tried the following..
    Changed the main Ethernet cable connecting the two hubs
    Replaced the Ethernet cable from secondary hub to the pc
    Reset all the hubs to factory
    Switched out both hubs to new ones
    Installed a new network card in the desktop pc
    Tried using system restore (although this fails to complete with and unexpected error)

    The wifi side of things works 100% with no issues at all
    The hubs currently in use are a by home hub 4.0 as the main and a by home hub 2.0 as the secondary
    Both are brand new spares I've had that were never used. All the cables are new and yet this problem persists.... I'm getting rather cheesed off with it to say the least.
    Also need to add I've connected the laptop to the same Ethernet cable and it's working just fine so I'm pretty sure the problem is with my rig.

    HELP
    Please

    Thanks in advance
    Jeff

    Hi Jeff,
    Sounds silly i know but
    Are you picking up the Wifi from the secondary hub, dont forget that the SSID's will be nearly Identical BTFONXXXX, and remember the security code as well.

    No no the wifi isn't an issue here it works just fine but my desktop of has no wifi card, it's cable only. This problem is totally random, I can't recreate a drop or force it to happen at all, sometimes it stays working fine for hours and other times I can even do a Google search.
