Internet crashing while using chrome

[Anthony Dupuis]

For at least the past month now, whenever I use google chrome for more than a couple minutes, my whole internet just crashes. Not just on my computer but the router seems to just reset itself. I can play online games for hours and no signs of slowdown or instability are present. I even tried live-streaming to youtube but everything was fine. It usually happens when I open chrome and start browsing the web and watching youtube videos that the internet crashes… I am connected through a cat6 cable directly into my router and when the internet is up, the speeds are as high as they can get for where I live. It’s also not like I have a mind blowing fast internet that my router couldn’t handle because my ISP only offers 120mbs down and 10mbs up in my area…

 

If anyone has any advices or clues as to what is happening I would gladly appreciate the help…

I'd see if you have any firmware updates available from the manufacture of the router. But stuff like that is why I switched to software based firewalls (like pfsense) over a decade ago.
