Diagnosing issues such as this is difficult if the problem is intermittent.  Much easier if it happens constantly.

 

What many people do it open a command window and issue a command to 'ping' some internet resource, such as:

 

ping -t dns.google.com

 

There are also apps that include ICMP (ping) as a feature, such as PingInfoView (Windows, from Nirsoft).
