Sometimes while downloading shit (torrenting) the internet to my pc cuts off (the ethernet connection light starts blinking and eventually comes back on) and doesnt come back on unless I restart it

Tried reinstalling the ethernet drivers but it didnt seem to help

Could it be just my cheapo board not handling the 300 mbit/s load?

next time try disabling the network card in device manager

and reenabling it

helps for my cutoff after i wake my pc up

your luck that PCI-E network cards are so cheap

faster than rebooting

even >ugreen< has some if you want to keep it chinkshit

@spaqin also knowing make and model of your current ethernet card/motherboard helps a ton if someone was to dig internet about possible issues

(aaalso event log on windows might have some explanation to the cut-off if you are lucky)

nah i just assumed all network cards are shit

not that far off the truth :P

also bad cables can cause all kinds of wonky issues

and is (relatively) cheaper fix

@Julian that happened to me and it turned out it was the coaxial connection going into my modem being overwhelmed, not my computer

Replaced the cable with a higher quality one and the problem stopped. I was originally using a cable that came with a set of bunny ear antenna

The one from your router to your pc, correct?

who the fuck would run coax to their pc for internet

Oh I misread

wait Im still confused about the coax

check if you even have coax

yeah bad ethernet cables(not necessarily bad just old ) can cause issues

also what are you restarting, your pc or something else?

I need to restart my pc for my internet (on the pc, wifi and shit stays up when the ethernet fucks up) to work

well then the problem is probably with your pc, and not related to possible coax cables

@Julian from my wall to the router

I got ethernet installed like a year ago and no coax was used I dont think

BUT the ethernet cables that were installed through the walls when the house was built are kinda chinky

Says made in *chian* on them lmao

but I borrowed a tester and all my connections were 8/8

Yyyyeeeaaah, I'd definitely put those at the top of the list of likely offenders

But if they were the problem, wifi internet would stop working as well

if your tester looked like this

and not like this

that test doesn't really mean anything

the only thing it tests if the cables are connected in the right order

it did have a digital display but much simpler than the one in the 2nd pic
