    It is my personal experience that cordless phones, cell phones, and some low flying aircraft can cause disruption in the internet connection. Also, other wireless signals in the area can cause disruption from cross signals.

    Another suggestion is to connect one computer directly to the source internet modem to ensure it is not a problem with the service from your provider. I have also experienced a loose connecting wire at the box which the company repair man fixed. Since the wire was connected, I would have connection with intermittent drops when the wind would blow.

    I hope this helps.

    Unplug the modem, the router and turn off the pcs. Wait 1 minute.

    1. Plug in the modem - wait 2 minutes

    2. Plug in the router - wait 1 minute

    3. Boot up a pc

    If your internet connection is not stable and you have to do this often, contact your internet provider.
