What is a historical connection?

Internet keeps going out on me, repair connection only works temporarily, what do I do?

• Just recently my internet connection has been unstable. It goes out frequently and repairing the connection temporarily fixes it for about a minute, then it's out again. I'm connected through a wired connection, so wireless has nothing to do with it. My brother, who's also has a wired connection, is not having this problem. I have noticed that the connection normally re-establishes when the connection repair tool tells me that it's clearing NetBT. Don't know if this is relevant, though.

• Answer:

  A couple of things for you to try: 1) try running malwarebytes and see if you have picked up a trojan or hijackware of some kind. 2) Run your antivirus for the same reasons. 3) Try changing the nic cable. It may have become bent too many times, which can result in internal wire breakage. 4) Believe it or not, the longer the nic wire, the better the chance for packet (meaning the data sent back and forth from the servers you are accessing to your computer) to become lost or corrupted. if you are used a long nic cable, try moving your computer closer to the router and using a shorter cable. 5) This may sound bad, but it is quite common. If you are using a built in nic card (built into the motherboard of your computer) this can be a sign that the built in nic card is going bad. try replacing it with an after market card which are relatively cheap. 6) same goes if it is an after market card.
