Connection a night then day.

[#1]

Hi have just come here to ask for some help.

I've been getting problems with my internet connection in the evening starting about 6 pm where my internet connection suddenly times out for 10-15 seconds but in the day its perfectly fine.

Does anyone have any solution to this?

Thank you!

If this is a wifi connection may be neighbours coming on line; try changing wifi channel/s.

I had a similar "on time" evening cut out problem several years ago.

I tracked it down to a nearby building site where a local pub was being knocked down and turned into a uni car park. Telephone cables had been diverted and hung right across the site. In the evening a generator started up powering the sites bright lights.

After a few weeks the site was cleared as was the connection drop out.

I had something simillar, internet dropping, eventually figured out it was when the TV was on.

The TV psu brick was emitting a lot of interference wiping out broadband. A new psu brick fixed the problem.

Is anything turned on at 6 pm?

A friend also had similkar issues which were caused by the local shops security cameras. The night time IR lights were automatically coming on drawing more power from the power supply.  They affected the BB to several houses. It took weeks to locate the problem 😞

It does sound like this may be WiFi related, because the actual connection is pretty stable:

I'd recommend going through wireless troubleshooting here

Checking your line the connection itself isn't dropping out, so this may be wifi causing the issue. Next time you see a dropout, try a wired device and see if you're experiencing the same issues please.
