davy1shoe Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Who are you with isp? Some specs i.e. router name and number? Do you connect with usb or ether net? If usb get it on ether net way more stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelta Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 does your telephone wire enter your house over or under ground? I had probelms with my internet dropping in bad weather that was due to a damaged connection to the nearby telephone pylon. if you pickup your phone and hear crackles etc then thats whats likely wrong.

barca-ger Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I know this may not be the problem but my Internet used to close down all the time but the problem was the fan was needing cleaned out. It was a safety measure incase the computer overheated so the computer made the Internet shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
