Internet keeps disconnecting - Internet disconnect
Having intermittent internet disconnects? There could be a couple of causes for this issue. Your internet could be degraded when it gets to your house causing disconnects. You will have to contact your Internet Service Provider in order to have them resolve this issue. Normally, they will replace splitters and may even replace lines outside of your house. You could also be having problems with the modem directly. The may replace this. If you have a modem that you bought that was not provided by your ISP, you can try to update the firmware on the modem.
If using a modem
I recommend you unplug the router, plug the computer directly in the modem and see if you still have the problem. If you still have the problem then you know it is just the modem. If the problem resolves itself then you know the most likely culprit is the router.
I would also recommend that you update your router firmware as well. Do a google search for the brand name of the router and go to the companies website, look in the support/downloads section for updated software.
--If possible, try a different Ethernet port on your router. You may have a bad port.
--Take out and reinsert all Ethernet cables on your network. Loose cables can cause disconnects.
--If possible, replace the Ethernet cables. Bad cables can cause this.
Lastly, you could be having an issue with the Network card(NIC) on your computer. Network cards are either built into the modem or external(a card you insert into the motherboard). Using the process of elimination and the steps above, you can hopefully narrow down the problem to one specific component of your network.

Wasnt sure what this was at first till I looked it up. I downloaded a program called Dr TCP. This apparently controls my MTU. I tried on 1500 and also on 1492 but it never made any difference to the issue

oops said it 3 times, sorry :)
ok actually went out and brought a network card which has helped. I have narrowed the problem down. My motherboard has some kind of safety cut-off which makes my internet fail when downloading. By installing a seperate nework card I have bypasses this safety featue and now when under pressure my PC goes into a blue screen error and freezes or restarts
