I have a very strange issue with my home network. For some reason, I intermittently get an issue where the whole network dies temporarily. The duration of the outage seems to vary but can take up to about 5 minutes to return to normality. This can happen several times a day which in this day and age - where my partner and I are working from home - can be quite disruptive. We've had several work Zoom/Teams calls cut out due to this problem which is quite frustrating.
We are based in the London and have VDSL/FTTC fibre broadband and the ISP is Uno. Usual speeds are around 45 Mbps down and 15 Mbps up.
I believe I have narrowed the culprit down to my main PC as we can spend the whole day working our work laptops with no issues but as soon as I turn my main PC on after work, the network goes down and Chrome gives me DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET. I then try running network troubleshooter which fails to fix the issue and the messages it gives me always seem to vary which is pretty unhelpful. Although it happened on the startup of my PC, it is not isolated to this event. It seems to happen sporadically when the PC is on, sometimes it seems to be triggered by myself and someone else streaming at the same time but other times it seems just happen at any random point in time.
My network setup is as follows:
Let me know if you need any further details from me and I will happily provide them.
