I've been having a frustrating issue where my PC randomly disconnects from the internet for about 3 to 10 seconds, and it seems to happen no matter what I'm doing. My Discord calls drop and I get kicked out of games, which really impacts my experience. This started about two weeks ago, and I haven't changed any settings or updated anything that I can think of. I've scoured the internet for solutions and tried various tutorials, reset my network settings, and followed all the suggested fixes, but nothing seems to work. I even ran a ping test to 8.8.8.8 and saw a 'Request Timed Out' error sometimes. I'm really at a loss here—any help would be appreciated!

First off, you might want to try connecting your PC directly to your router using an Ethernet cable. If that fixes the issue, then you'll know it's a Wi-Fi problem. It's a simple test that could save you a lot of headache!
I'll give that a shot tonight. It's a bit of a hassle since the router is downstairs, but I need to find out for sure. Thanks!
