Hi there,
recently my internet has been being rather weird. Usually when I try to visit a web page it will send back the page not found or webpage not available error. However, if I refresh the page enough times (sometimes up to 10 times, this varies) without changing any settings, the page will load. These are not abstract pages, these are things like Google, Gmail, and Facebook - pages that you would expect to not be down.
When it is doing this for a page I have done a ping request in CMD and it gives a page cannot be found error, and at the same time I will run a ping to the same page from the router, and the router will succeed.
I have tried this on both Google Chrome and Firefox. I have also tried on various computers in the household, and with both wireless and wired, with the same results.
I have tried restoring both routers to factory settings and then putting in only what is needed to get it working again with the same results (slight page loading abilities, occasionally)
I have tried connecting straight through the Linksys router/modem, same thing.
I have the computers running Windows 7
The wireless router is a TP-Link WR1043N (I have this router for the better wireless and gigabit capabilities)
The modem is a Linksys WAG120N - wireless disabled
ISP is Xnet
This setup has been working for ages with no problems until now. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance
