    This problem has recurred every since I got this machine. Originally I was connecting to the internet via WiFi and was constantly having trouble (my card only picks up one of the broadcast networks from the router) so I connected an Ethernet cable and this problem still exist. I will have internet for a while and then randomly it will go out, it is just my machine all other computers have access. The message I get is ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT, I have tried several suggestions via the internet (using my phone) and nothing or no one seems to have a solution.

    It could very well be a hardware problem. Did you take it back under warranty and ask the store to check it out?

    No, it worked temporarily with the wifi adapter but was limited because it could only pick up one of the broadcast channels, should've looked at that before I bought it I guess. When I first hardwired it it worked just fine, I am sure it is some type of network interface but I'm just not savvy enough to figure it out
