Currently, I own a Windows PC and a MacBook Air.
I am having no internet connection problems on my Mac (since everything seems to be working fine!), but on my Windows PC, I am getting sudden temporary loss of internet connection. Think of it as sudden loss of internet connectivity, and then it comes back after a few seconds and this keeps on happening again and again every 1-2 minutes.
So, I started a little investigation and I came up with the following results:
MacBook
Specifications: OS X Yosemite, Mid-2011 model, 4 GB memory.
After sending 50 pings to google.com from my macbook, I got 0% loss and no loss of packets of data, hence smooth internet connectivity. You can see in the image below, everything worked fine.
Windows
Specifications: Windows 8.1, 16 GB memory, Intel Dual Band Wireless - AC 7260 WiFi driver.
After sending 48 (~50) pings to google.com from my windows PC, I got 16% loss and as you can see in the image, some pings were timed-out, sudden hence loss of packets of data, therefore no internet connectivity.
Now, both of these commands were executed at the same time from two different computers. As a potential solution, I even re-installed network drivers on my windows PC but apparently it did not help.
What could this mean? Faulty network hardware on my Windows PC, faulty software? anti-virus firewall doing? something else that I am not guessing right? any help is appreciated. Thanks!
