Pages stuck connecting

Super User Asked by Jazerix on January 30, 2021

Our internet has been acting very strange as of late.

Especially during evening/night when the browser is trying to load pages, it’ll report back "Connecting…" on and off and then timeout as a result. Some pages, such as Google, are still able to load fine (sometimes). Initially, I thought this was a problem with the DNS on the router seeing as this was occurring for my girlfriend at the same time. However, none of the error codes returned indicated that the lookup failed.

The next day I went out and got a Google Wifi mesh system, and oddly the same thing started occurring around nighttime. Luckily Google Wifi can run a speed test directly on the router. This test resulted in either failing, saying it couldn’t connect to the internet, or at a speed of 0/0.

I spoke to the broadband company this morning, and told me that everything looked fine on their end.

At this point, I’m at my wit’s end. I’m not sure where the issue lies other than the fiber box installed directly connected to your router.

Is there anything I am missing?

I'm going to say from experience that this is most likely due to wuauserv from the symptoms you're describing. Note that even when you have Active Hours configured, I've commonly observed the service running irregardless to time scoping. We have T2 at my office, so every time this happens, the fileserver gets throttled and every domain workstation starts acting funky. We were able to confirm when we called the ISP and a technician (make sure you get someone higher than wave 1) was able to confirm traffic to/from one of Microsoft's known servers addresses.
