    Why does my internet disconnect after trying to open any game or run a speed test online ?


    Recently my computers internet has stopped working, when idle the internet is fine and allows me to be in calls and talk to people, but when i try to get on any online game, or run a speed test online it instantly turns off my internet. other pcs on the same network are perfectly fine and have no issues with the wifi.

  2. Overall download speeds slow and frequent game disconnections.

    (I made a post asking for help for the first problem but with no positive outcome, will paste info here):
    When I try to download games, the speeds are around 1-3mb/s, this is consistent with all the launchers I tested. When downloading files from the web, it's around 100kb/s. I did an internet test and I got around 10mb/s on both download and upload. On another pc it's 60mb/s and 10mb/s, and games download fine on it at around 10mb/s.

    Also, when playing games like Roblox or Sea of Thieves, the internet will just cut out for my computer. It happens very frequently on Sea of Thieves, so I constantly disconnect from the game.

    My PC has no wireless wi-fi, and is connected via LAN cable. I tried using a USB wireless wi-fi tool but the results are the same (both download speeds and game disconnections).

    What do I do?
