Anything in the event logs when it drops?
Don
How is your PC connected to the router. How many cables/switches/devices etc between you and the router.
Tried connecting via; router> ethernet cable> desktop
router> ethernet cable to powerline adaptor > powerline adaptor ethernet cable to desktop pc.
Only other device that connects to the router is my mobile phone.
Can't see any errors in router logs.

What the Windows event log?
Oh, no theres nothing I can see.
Don
So right now it's router directly to new network card..
At moment i'm trying the power line adaptors. It cut out last night, but this morning I done the IP release, renew, flush thing, it ok so far today.
Don
Don't use powerline, they are crud. That is where the issue lies I imagine.
Never had problems with them, worked great but when this issue started I switched to a ethernet connection, which didn't solve the problem at all.
Don
To rule out the new ethernet card, use a direct cable without powerlines.
Yeah I'm testing everything on this new card. It has dropped once since installing, but releasing n renewing the IP it's been stable for over 24 hours so fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the replies chaps.
Well desktop connection dropped again and I couldn't get it back. While it was down, I was able to get online ok with my phone and laptop so router, phone line must be fine.
Checked event viewer logs and there's a lot errors for;
The server CortanaUI.AppXd4tad4d57t4wtdbnnmb8v2xtzym8c1n8.mca did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
I've got Cortana disabled.
Then theres some warnings;
Name resolution for the name 96-trouter-cus-b.drip.trouter.io timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0x6805CA42469A. The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.

Network link is disconnected.
I've gone back to ethernet conenction, dropped again. So think next step is a fresh Win 10 installation.

with the ethernet connection on, open up a cmd window
(start, run, cmd)
type..
ipconfig /all
Paste in here what shows up..

Are you using cat 6 cables per chance?
Thanks for helping. I'm now on a fresh Win 8.1 install so gonna see if helps. If all good, will upgrade to Win 10 again while it's still free and see how that goes.
Here's the ipconfig anyway...

I am too, and I have Devolo power line adapters, i was getting drop outs aswell until I connected to a switch then to the power line plug, never get drop outs now (I had a switch anyway that I was using). before hand i was looking in the Intel network program and it specified the length of the cable was like 100 meters or couldn't tell how long it was (something along those lines, the cable is actually 20 meters), I plugged it into the switch and it reports it all correctly and works perfectly.
Thanks for the info. I'm now back on Win 8.1 and it working great.
