Q: Ethernet connection is lost but WiFi continues with Mavericks.

My Ethernet connection flickers on and off but WiFi continues without interruption.  I am on Mavericks with latest updates and I am connect to Verizon FIOS.  I have swapped routers to remove that variable.  This problem has started recently and occurs both on an IMac and a MacMini.

    Try going to System Preferences/Network - select the Ethernet, click Assist Me and run diagnostics.

     

    Do you have another Ethernet cable you can try?

    Thanks for your response.  However, the suggestions were not helpfull.

     

    As I noted this problem occurs on multiple machines and cabling has been ruled out. Moreover, the diagnostics meerly point to what I have already attempted.

     

    I am no Mavericks guru, but I would like to hear from someone who has more knowledge of the operating system internals.  I have tried three different browsers, swapped routers, changed cables and have pretty much ruled out hardware.  What is baffling is that wireless works without a kickup.
