Troubleshoot High Speed Internet connection issues.
What you can do if you're losing your High Speed Internet connection
Sporadic or intermittent loss of you connection to the Internet is often caused by electronic or physical interference. If your Internet connection is coming and going, you may want to check the following things:
Cordless phones and other electronic devices are the most common cause of intermittent Internet connectivity issues. Cordless phone systems running at 2.4 GHz often run at the same frequency as your DSL modem or networking router. If you are experiencing intermittent connectivity issues, you may need to replace your cordless phone with one that runs at a different frequency.
Large metal objects and electrical equipment such as televisions, entertainment electronics, and microwaves can also cause interference. Try to keep your DSL modem and wireless networking router away from these sources of electronic interference.
Check with your neighbor. You may both be running wireless networks at the same frequency. The solution may be as easy as changing the channel of your wireless router.
Physical obstructions such as walls, floors, entertainment electronics, appliances and furniture can cause interference if the wireless signals have to pass through them. Move your DSL modem or wireless networking router to another location so it isn't in the line-of-sight of these potential interference factors.
