For the last couple of weeks or so when connected to the Internet thru IE 9 my connection will just go away. Stops. Not there. Then in a few minutes or more it will come back. Sometimes I have to reboot to get it back.
Sometimes I'll stay connected for hours and sometimes just minutes before a freeze/disconnect occurs.
I use Cox HSI - their plan with powerboost. When actually connected I run 8Mbs plus or minus a some download and 2.6 Mbs upload. Good speed, less than 1% packet loss, low ping times when connected. I connect thru a Linksys WRT 54 router. Two other computers in the house work without the drops (at least my wife hasn't complained about it and Netflix runs without trouble) so I don't think the problem is with Cox.
I use ZoneAlarm's best package. Run windows defender. Do quick scan anti-virus and Windows Defender daily and a deep/full scan weekly with both. No viruses or malware reported.
Any ideas on what is happening with the disconnects? What to check? Settings?
