Periodically the router drops the connection

Hello, I have the following problem: I recently had to disconnect my printer from my computer, and as soon as I did it, I lost internet. I thought it was a lan cable, so I replaced it, but the problem persisted. In a nutshell, the internet in the house is set up like this: the internet goes through a cable to a router and a router, from the router the ethernet cable goes to the router, and the router has a cable connecting the computer to the router. As soon as I disconnected the printer, the router started flashing all the diodes frequently and the wi-fi went down. I unplugged the lan cable to replace it with another one, and suddenly the internet and wi-fi worked on all devices and computers except this one, which is the problem. I put another cable and the computer began to receive a signal from the router (that is, the icon of connection became normal, as on windows 7 and the Internet worked, the Wi-Fi itself is not lost), but still often loses connection between the computer and the Internet and wi-fi is lost. I hope I have written clearly, if there are any questions – I will be happy to clarify. I look forward to your help.

Hello Nikita. You have described everything well, thank you. Your problem is unusual, I would even say mystical 🙂 I’ve heard of different cases, but to start problems with the router after disconnecting the printer from the computer is something new. How all this could be related – I have no idea.

  1. What kind of router?
  2. How exactly does the computer “lose connection to the Internet”? Does the yellow “no internet access” icon appear next to the connection icon?
  3. Does the wi-fi network disappear altogether, or is there a connection, but also “no internet access”?
  4. What indicators on the router are lit/blinking at this moment.
  5. Does only rebooting the router help?
  6. Maybe you’ve noticed that the failure happens at a certain point? Is it related to something, for example.
  7. Did all the lights on the router flash at the exact moment you pulled the USB cable out of the system unit?

I’m waiting for answers to these questions, and we’ll think further.
