I've been having this issue for a few days now. Roughly twice a day, for 10-15 mins, my internet just suddenly goes out without any warning. Then it comes back and is totally fine again. ISP says that there's nothing going on on their end (and most of the time when I have an internet outage they do say they're having an issue)

Is the router just fucked? Are there web goblins stealing my interwebs? Is there any way to tell?

I'll double check all the cables, the power cable of course gets reseated often lol

    One time I was sure it was some strange problem on the ISP's side because, like, I was getting bursts of super slow speeds and 70% packet loss. There's no way a loose cable does that, right?

    It was a loose cable.
