Hi.
The wifi connection is very weak in my room, so a few days ago I bought a 20m long utp cable, plugged it in to my router and connected the other end to my laptop in my room. That is when things started to get weird. Firstly, there were no internet through the cable, so I called my internet supplier. They said the LAN ports on the back of the router were wrongly set up, but they fixed it.
After that the Internet worked through the cable, but it was still unusable. The connection dropped so often, I could not open a web page. The bult in windows network diagnostic could not find the issue.
I updated literally all the drivers on my computer but the issue remained the same.
There is another computer in my home, a proper PC with a utp cable connection only. The internet worked on that system, so I pulled out the utp cable out of it, and plugged it in to my laptop to see if the issue is in the new cable or in my laptop. There were no internet on my laptop, so it seemed like my laptop was the faulty part.
After that I updated my BIOS, which suddenly solved the issue, the internet worked fine, at least it seemed.
Ever since then, the connection keeps dropping both (!) on my laptop and the PC randomly. The network diagnostic said both have a DNS issue. If I turn the router off and on again, or reboot the systems, the internet comes back, but then randomly drops again.
I tried google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 dns severs, but that didn't solved the problem. Its really annoying and makes things like gaming impossible. And the strangest part is: Wifi works fine always. Even when one of the utp connected computers have problem. How could I solve this issue? It's driving me nuts.
