@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
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
Is anyone here using a Mi TV box?
bought one when xiaomi released them in stores in america.
pretty much just a basic android tv box
nothing special about it
unless you’re doing HDHomeRun stuff or want to play games, i like using a Roku better
Got one
Kinda sucks that they dont have an ethernet port
Yeah I thought they had a usb 3 but it's only usb 2
