Welcome to my question; feedback will be appreciated! This is typed by a 13 year old kid.
My internet connection keeps dropping every 10 minutes (not my WiFi signal) and lasts around 30 seconds to one minute. When ever I check my WiFi/ internet, it doesn't say that the internet is off. When ever on Discord call, my ping goes very high, up to 300 ms at the highest, and my voice gets choppy; I still can hear other people in the call, and the Discord and other websites become unresponsive and say "www.whatever.website.com" is unresponsive and took too long to respond"; OR it says www.whatever.com isn't sending any data." After the internet drop, the game I play and Discord just quickly reconnect and fast forward. Every time I try Windows Troubleshoot, it says that there's nothing wrong; that there's something wrong with a driver on my WiFi adapter; that i need to unplug my broadband modem; I need a network Reset & restart my PC; or that "your device is correctly configured but (www.microsoft.com) is not responding."
I am using my desktop connected to a WiFi extender (Rockwell AC 1200 or RSD0608) Since I do not have a WiFi card, I use a USB WiFi adapter (Linksys WUSB6100M) I have tried using a Ethernet cable from my extender to my desktop (oof) to see if my things would improve. The speed got a bit faster but the 10 minute and 30 second internet drop out was the same. My router is a Linksys EA9400 and my modem is a Linksys CM3008.
Download speeds:
Speeds with ethernet & extender: ~80 Mbps
Speeds with 5Ghz from router ~ 70-170 (Still fast but still suffered dropouts)
Speeds extender (extended 5Ghz): ~0.75 Mbps
Speeds with extender (had a second channel which was faster than the original 5Ghz extended channel): ~80 mbps with dropouts
Speeds with 2.4Ghz channel from router): ~15 Mbps
My average Discord ping when the dropout isn't occurring is around 18-24 ms.
What is going on with my internet connection??? Is it the router, my modem, ISP, my WiFi adapter, extender, or Ethernet cable???
