I see this when folk torrent. Why is widely known.
Problem;
- Connecting both my laptop and desktop through ethernet, after a certain period of time/during heavy bandwith usage my internet completely shuts down and resets itself (comes back online 2 minutes later)
Attempts to Fix/Resolve/Isolate ;
- Updated drivers
- Changed router and modem
- Isolated connection to modem only through both devices
- Changed outlets used for power
Additional Information ;
- If laptop is on WIFI and desktop is hardwired through Ethernet i do not receive an internet shutdown/reset regardless of how much data is being uploaded/downloaded simultaneously, only occurs when both the laptop and desktop are hardwired through ethernet.
- I do not receive any incoming or outgoing packetloss or latency spikes during the disconnect, it's an immediate internet shutdown and reset
- All wires have been re-wired in effort to fix
Laptop is using Windows 10, desktop is on windows 7. This problem only occurs when i hardwire my laptop through ethernet, this does not occur if the laptop is on wifi.
Please post suggestions, will try and respond/apply fixes and report back.
