I've been dealing with sporadic WiFi dropouts for about a year now, and it's really frustrating, especially since this issue started suddenly. The disconnections typically last just half a second to a second, which disrupts my online gaming sessions. The weird part is that while I get disconnected from games, my Discord calls keep going strong, and my web browser doesn't show any issues during these dropouts. I've noticed that this happens across multiple devices, including my phone and laptop. I've tried various solutions like purchasing a new Netgear Nighthawk AC2300 R7000P router, resetting devices, and even contacting my ISP, who informed me that my network has been stable. Now, I'm even planning to run a Python script to monitor the dropouts more closely. I'm out of ideas and would really appreciate some expert advice on this!

If you're having trouble with port forwarding specifics, you might want to check out a guide or wiki article that explains how to set it up. It can make a difference in connectivity if you’re trying to connect to game servers. But if you've only got one router, then it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck trying the Ethernet cable next—sounds like a solid plan!
Have you checked if your ISP's router is set up in bridge mode with your Netgear router? If not, you might be facing double NAT issues that could affect your gaming. Also, it's worth trying a wired connection with an Ethernet cable to see if those dropouts persist. That could help narrow down if it's a WiFi issue or something with the connection itself.
