Hello!
I am sorry for the dumb question, but I am hopeless now. We have a router at home, connected to 2, in the past, 3 computers with a UTP cable. My whole life, ever since I had internet at home, it just randomly lost connection. There was no internet in the whole house, and we had to fix that by resetting the router. There were times when we had to do this multiple times a day, and there were times when it was rarer. A few months ago I was away for a holiday, and when I got home, turned on my PC, and the internet went away. My roomate angrily noticed that " Internet's working fine while you are away, the moment you turn on your PC it's gone again". And then it hit me that this was basically true all the time I was away.
A few weeks ago, my network card gone bad, and, as a temporary solution, I switched to an USB WiFi adapter. I just plugged in, connected to our WiFi and it went smoothly for weeks, without a single problem with the internet. Now we have visitors at our house, and we plugged in my old cable, which don't use now, to their laptop, and suddenly the problem's back again. I am shocked, and I was affraid to ask this question, because I feel like this is very stupid, but I just can't imagine anything else:
Can a UTP cable destroy the internet connection until you reset the router, for a whole network of computers?
I am sorry for all the grammar mistakes, and/or if I've got the name of any part of the computer wrong, I hope it was understandable.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
