Awful connection 120mb@firefox
 

Ok, so i am running win 7 and i am directly connected to my router with about 9 clients. Every now and again the connection drops on firefox and just gets stuck on "Connecting..." though all the other devies are able to get internet! Even on wireless! I have a ASUS RT-N66U as my router and my sh is is modem mode. Most of the time its about 85-95% load on my network. I am very technical so i will do anything and give u any logs or stuff like that.:mad:



Any answers???



Kind regards,

Alex Dowd

Does the same thing happen with other browsers, on the same PC, i.e. IE or chrome?

Plug the computer in to another port of your switch or router.

What antivirus program do you use? This is a likely suspect but uninstalling and re-install it or another product is often the only way to be sure. There are some other things you can try before attempting this though:

Check you have no proxy set in your browser

Download malwarebytes or something similar to do a thorough virus check

Open a DOS prompt as administrator and run the following command to reset the tcp/ip stack: netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

If your net connection is always busy (say heavy torrenting for example) and saturated then this can happen too. You can extend the timeout value for most browsers although its normally a registry value which I think is unique to each browser.

I was having this problem until I turned the browser security off on Zonealarms.
