network issue

Hi all,

I have a strange problem. It used to be fairly intermittent, but now happens more often.
I have two desktops (PC1 and PC2), along with other laptops and devices on my network. I have an ASUS router, AC1900 and SMART/RG modem. Running WIN7.

I frequently copy files from PC1 to PC2. Usually works fine, but sometimes it will start the copy, do a little bit, and then halt with the message:
"Problem accessing PC2/folder. Make sure you are connected to the network"
Yet I can see all the devices in network neighborhood, so obviously I'm connected to the network.

When this happens, I notice the same problem occurs when I try to copy from PC2 to PC1.
I can fix the problem by rebooting PC2, but that's not working reliably any more.

Another quirk is, when this error happens, it will also abort any download I happen to be doing at the time, so somehow the error is affecting some other network communication.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where I can start looking - router, switch, cables?
Thanks for any suggestions.
