Hoping for some networking help, folks. I'm experiencing what I think is called "network flapping," where devices connect/disconnect from the network for a few seconds. Often, it won't interrupt anything, but it's causing issues. Any idea what might be behind it? Even happens over ethernet.

Also, I had this happen once when I powered my router with the wrong barrel jack. It had the right total power, but volts and amps were wrong.
Disconnect everything, then check out network activity, in case you have a network leecher
1. Open Command Prompt:
Click the Windows Start button.
Type "cmd" in the search bar and press Enter.
Alternatively, you can press the Windows key + R, type "cmd", and press Enter.
In the Command Prompt window, type either ipconfig or ipconfig /all and press Enter.
3. Locate Your IP Address:
If you used ipconfig, the IPv4 address will be listed in a section labeled "IPv4 Address".
Ping /t 9.9.9.9
and then:
Ping /t "a local IP Address that isn't the PC you are on or your router or modem"
Isolate the issue: connect your PC hard wired to the modem and open Terminal and type: ping -t https://google.com | ForEach-Object { "$(Get-Date -Format 'HH:mm:ss') $_" }
Press enter and wait for the issue to happen.
Not tech savvy, yet imo, it's the satellites.
Muskrat is doing some shady shit...
Network would intermittently drop and come right back up
Took days to track down and fix
Doubt that’s your problem but “coax” 🤔
