Connection issues occur unpredictably.
Connection issues occur unpredictably.
Failed initially, improved stability while navigating the web, but lost connection after just one minute in an online game.
Your network gear is a Cisco Aruba 5000 series router. It connects to a Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch. On WiFi, the gateway settings are configured for 802.11ac with WPA3 encryption. You're positioned about 15 meters from the wireless access point. If you visualized a straight line from your PC to the router, it would pass through a few devices and cables. On Ethernet, we're using Cat6a cabling throughout. All connections have proper insulation and no visible wear. You're also considering Powerline for Ethernet transmission.
Sure, I'm here to help with suggestions. It sounds like your PC might be experiencing some issues. Let's troubleshoot together!
Consider testing with another port or cable, and see if the issue persists. You might also check the Ethernet port on your motherboard. Using a USB Wi-Fi adapter can help determine if the problem is network-related.
Not the router issue. I only have one cable, but in theory it shouldn’t be. It hasn’t been handled or moved since I received it, and I’ve checked for any damage. I obtained the Ethernet cable originally to resolve the same Wi-Fi problem. Another odd observation is that after each recommendation, I remain connected for over 20 minutes. Yesterday, when I ran “Network reset in windows,” I stayed connected for 3–4 hours before losing it again (before trying those steps I lost connection every few minutes).
