When I upgraded my WiFi equipment at home a month ago I thought it was defective. Multiple times every day I'd seem to lose connectivity to the internet. After two weeks it occurred to me that my previous router was configured to do a couple things for me, one of which was overriding what DNS servers were assigned with DHCP. I reconfigured my new equipment to use those DNS servers and suddenly everything works normally.

To answer the question asked: Spectrum.

I have Spectrum and have been fighting this exact problem for months. Trying out your steps now and hoping for success.

So did it work?
Not really :( I'm looking to replace my router entirely soon anyhow, and hoping this does the trick. My hardwired devices don't seem to have this problem.
