  1. WIFI drops when playing games


    It didnt happen before but today whenever I play games my connection will drop and I get disconnection on games. No matter what game I played it will runs slowly and disconnect. It didnt happen before and I dont have issue with the network as well as I confirmed it with my other device and my ISP. Yes, I contacted them but they said no issues at all. Its all in Windows and I hope someone will help me.

    :)

  2. WiFi Connection drops on entering matches in some Steam games

    Hello

    I have been playing games on Steam for quite some time now and never had this problem till a couple days ago. I have a router for the modem provided by my college because I'm in a hostel. The ping when I'm in game is always below 100, usually in the 20-40
    range. I earlier had no problem playing games like CS:GO and PES 2019 on Steam using my WiFi Router. The speed is around 50 mbps usually so that's not a problem either. Youtube videos play seamlessly @1080p60 quality.

    There are no disconnections when I'm watching YouTube. I've watched long videos continuously keeping an eye on the connection to make sure. But now when I start playing a match in PES 2109 or CS:GO, my WiFi connection drops within 2 mins. Sometimes it drops
    in 10 seconds, sometimes it takes longer, but the connection drop is inevitable.

    The game first stops, then disconnects. When I check WiFi in the lower bar, there is no connection to any WiFi networks. The device then auto-connects again to the WiFi in a minute or so. This connection drop isn't device-specific as I check if my phone
    is connected to the WiFi, but it loses connection too!

    Any advice/suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you

    Edit: When I use a wired connection to my router there is no problem. The problem occurs only when I'm using WiFi. I tried using a friend's wifi who's connected to the same network and there were no auto disconnects. In light of this I would say the problem
    is with the router. Any help on resolution of the problem or suggestions on what can be done are much appreciated.
