Minecraft Forums

Hello, Recently I have had a problem with minecraft crashing my internet. It only crashes it on my computer, everybody else in the house is having no problem with the internet besides me. I'm fine when I use the internet for websites but when I go on minecraft I get about 4 - 10 minutes until it disconnects my internet. I am getting VERY annoyed at this. Any solutions?

How can you tell it disconnecting from the network?

Well my router icon shows its "reloading" about every 10 minutes which kicks me off serves, webpages, etc

How old is your router and is there a cap on your bandwidth? You may just be overloading your router or your ISP is capping you for using too much bandwidth.

If you appreciate my help then please check out the server in my sig! Thanks!

I honestly have no clue to either of those questions

Eh, just call your internet service provider (ISP) and talk to them about your issue, they have a good chance of resolving it.

Even if it's only Minecraft related?

You may have answered this in your OP, but does everyone's computer get disconnected from the internet when you are playing minecraft ? If it is only your computer but everyone else can still connect while your computer shows it doesn't have a connection to the internet then its likely a firewall/router problem.

I have my firewall disabled, And yes, everybody else's connection is fine but mine.

Thanks for all the suggestion but my problem fixed itself. We had a VERY nasty storm knock out our power for 13 hours yesterday which shut off the router, I guess it needed a good rest/or reset.
