Hello, I only noticed this cause I am streaming media over the local network. every couple of days, for a few minutes my wireless starts to get really laggy and the streaming media stops and starts after a while. I have tried all the normal resetting and stuff and there is nothing using up the network.

is there any way I can run something to figure out what the problem is?

There is, and others will know more about that than I will... but first, tell us a little bit about your setup: what type of internet service you have, what kind of wireless router, how many PCs are using it, what sorts of things other than streaming media you are using, etc. That will help.

There could be some wireless interference happening, someone using a cordless phone, microwave or other wireless router nearby.

It's verizon fios and I am using the default router/modem that they give you. it just says verizon on it so i don't know what the name is.

last time this happened there were only two devices connected to it, my PC wired connection and the google Tv box wireless.

There was no one in the house other than me so no microwaves or phones or anything.

There is usually other computers connected to the wired network but not at the time of the latest hiccup.
