The problem described by (wired connection, intermittent connectivity that a restart sometimes fixes, virus scan reported clean) points to a few likely areas: name resolution, the local network adapter or drivers, or the router/modem. 's prompt to check whether other sites and devices are affected and 's note to record the antivirus and browser in use are important when collecting useful evidence.

Begin with focused isolation steps and basic network-stack resets. From an elevated command prompt, the following sequence will clear local DNS and network state and provide quick tests:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ping -n 20 8.8.8.8
nslookup example.com
tracert example.com

Interpret results: continuous replies to 8.8.8.8 indicate basic IP-level connectivity; failing hostname lookups but working IP pings implicate DNS. Intermittent gateway or ISP drops (seen as lost pings to the router or 8.8.8.8) point to cabling, switch/router, or ISP instability.

Check hardware and software next: swap the Ethernet cable and port, test the same cable with another device, update or roll back the NIC driver, verify adapter power-management settings, and ensure duplex/auto-negotiation is correct. Temporarily disable any AV/web-filtering features or browser extensions that intercept traffic to see if behavior changes. If restarting the router clears the problem, update router firmware and inspect its logs for errors.

If the issue persists, run a long ping to the gateway and to a public IP for 10–30 minutes to capture drop patterns, try an alternate DNS (e.g., 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1) temporarily, and, if possible, boot a different OS (live USB) or Safe Mode with Networking to rule out Windows-level interference. Record browser and antivirus versions before reporting back or contacting the ISP.
