Sudden Spotty Connection Hi.
For a while now, we've been customers of a fiber-optics company in our town, called MiNet. Under MiNet, I started playing World of Warcraft, and I was amazed at my complete and utter lack of lag.
However, recently, my connection has become extremely spotty; I was able to go almost all day without any problems a couple of days ago, but then I got on today and I've had nothing BUT problems.
My internet seems to be simply cutting off, but not for more than what seems to be a few seconds. If I'm playing World of Warcraft, I'll be disconnected from the game. A tech guy we had come over blamed our connection problems on the game, so I stopped playing for three days; the problem continued anyway, disconnecting me from Windows Live Messenger every now and then.
Because I reconnect within seconds, Windows Diagnostics never finds any problems; however, just a little while ago, it failed to reconnect within those few seconds; I ran a diagnostic, and it said
"Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server.
Network diagnostics pinged the remote host but did not receive a response."
I'm at my wit's end; it's making it nearly impossible to do ANYTHING on the internet, let alone play my game. Is this a problem with my router, or do I need to call and inform my ISP of the problem?
The make of our router is, I believe, a "Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router", and it says the model is "WRT54G". Are the specs of my computer important in this case?
Our wireless connections seem to suffer from this as well, disconnecting periodically themselves.
