Network hiccups using wired and wireless interfaces

I have an Asrock AB350 mITX board with both wired and wiresless devices from Intel.
Both work and I have successfully connected to my home network and to the internet using each of those devices. But regardless of which one I use, I get constant hiccups in the network connection: suddenly the network becomes completely unresponsive for ~20 seconds until it comes back again. This happens quite often, once every 5-10 minutes.

My other server at home (which uses debian) or my laptop (OSX) have not had this problem ever. The problem is that I don't even know where to start looking for the solution.
I have flashed the bios with the latest version, but it does not seem to change anything.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Network hiccups using wired and wireless interfaces

go to the wiki and read how journalctl and dmesg work, and have a look what is recorded in the logs when this happens.

And use google. This m.board has problems, Windows users report BSOD related to network traffic. Flashing the Beta rom version seems to help

Re: Network hiccups using wired and wireless interfaces

Hi, thank you very much for your answer.
I will try to de-cipher the info from dmesg.

As for the "use google" part... you can avoid that kind of comments.
Because I had used google before posting here, and they discourage people from trying to solve problems using these forums:

1) I had already upgraded to the latest version of the BIOS (which is more recent than the beta versions listed in the MOBO website).
2) Unlike windows users I am getting the problem also when using a *wired* connection. So the problem seems to be something else.

systemctl --list-unit-files --state=enabled

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
