A week or so ago my wife's desktop connected via ethernet started getting a DNS error and couldn't connect to websites via their name. After several minutes, the situation cleared. It returned again a day or so later. I ultimately assigned a DNS server to it. The problem appeared again the other night. In addition, the WiFi will drop for a minute or so throughout the house. I did a full scan with Malware Bytes and nothing was found. This morning I did a full inventory of devices on the network. The only thing that caught my eye was an inactive HP800SFF. I do not own that device. I was thinking that maybe one of my devices was using a recycled chip. I deleted it and used access control to block all new devices. Anyone have any idea as to what's going on? Any suggestions? Thanks
