Network Diagnostics conundrum
I have a 27 inch, (late 2009) iMac with 12 GB or RAM running Yosemite (10.10.3).
The machine is connected via Ethernet to an Gigabit POE ethernet switch, that then goes through a Wireless link back to my office in town ( about 15km line of sight) where it hits a mikrotik router and then an ADSL internet line.
Recently I have noticed some speed degradation when browsing the Internet, and went searching as to why.
After running the Apple Network Diagnostics tool and leaving it up an running for a period of time, I noticed that the ISP, Internet and Server indicator lights ( on the left) would all intermittently cycle to Red or a failed status. This literally lasts for a second and then the status turns green across the board again.
Has anyone else seem this before? and if so, where should I start my next step in fault diagnosis?
