Internet connection randomly dropping.

This is a problem that has started about 2 weeks ago. My internet connection on my PC will randomly cut out for a few minutes at a time, every couple hours or so. This only happens on my PC and no other devices in my house.

I am using a TP-LINK; When the internet drops the 3 lights on it remain a solid green (which means i should be getting an internet connection).

sudo journalctl -b http://0x0.st/HwoT.txt

ip a

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute

    inet6 fe80::6865:645c:223f:395/64 scope link stable-privacy proto kernel_ll

Happy to post more logs if needed.

Re: Internet connection randomly dropping.

The ony thing I see in your log is a vpn tunnel restarting, you might try disabling that and see how it goes.

You should probably post the output from this command...

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Don't forget to wrap it in "code" tags, if in doubt see the code section...

Re: Internet connection randomly dropping.

It happens both when connected and disconnected to the VPN.
