Really bizarre issue with my internet connection. So, currently I have it set up where I use POE or power over Ethernet as I cannot trust WiFi in general as I have bad luck with it, but Ethernet has always been infinitely more stable, such is the nature of the technology, but it too isn't perfect either. Now, for the most part, it runs perfectly and I get 50 megabits/sec down and 10 or so upload, not bad at all. Now, here's the weird part, one, when use the internet, intermittently, the internet will just "stop working" despite being connected, no triangle or disconnection notification, it still says that it is connected. Pages stop loading and eventually time out, but when I use CMD to ping a site, it sends and receives data packets just fine, however, the IP address is IPv6 and not IPv4, not sure if that has any relevance to my issue or not. I at least hope this makes sense, to sum it up:
- Internet connected to router via Power over Ethernet
- Internet runs nearly perfectly
- However, despite having perfect pings in CMD, webpages will on occasion refuse to load, spinning for about a minute or so and resume as if nothing had happened
Is this because POE and how it uses the house's power grid or something like it? I would go to WiFi, I really would, but unless I use one of those PCI-e cards with three antennas on them, I absolutely refuse to use a USB WiFi adapter, I've had nothing but bad luck with them lol.
