PC randomly disconnecting from WIFI

[ItsCorrupt]

Over the last few weeks my PC has been randomly disconnecting from Wifi. I'll be playing games whilst talking in Discord and then I will notice my Discord ping will shoot to 5000ms and I will disconnect from whatever I am playing. After a minute, or a few, it goes back to normal. Most of the time while this happens, I can strangely still hear my friends talking, and can even send messages in Discord, they just can't hear me. This also happens when I'm not using Discord and just trying to play online games/watch videos. Wifi seems to be working fine on all other devices in the house, including my phone and laptop that are right near my PC

 

Things I've tried so far:

• Worked through all of the Windows Network Troubleshooting found here
• Have used 3 different WIFI dongles/cards: TP-Link Archer 6E, TP-Link Archer 3u (I think), and a random 3rd dongle I had
• I have a Wifi booster nearby that I have tried running an ethernet cable to, but still get the same issues.
• Contacted my ISP, they've sent 3 techs out so far who have replaced various connections, checked lines/equipment and they haven't found anything.
• Replaced my ISP provided Modem and Router
• Am currently on the 2.4g band as I am a decent distance from my router with a few walls between me and it.

We are paying for ~250mbps down, but my PC only gets ~30mbps when on a wifi adapter, and ~50mbps when on ethernet to the booster. I know it will never be the advertised speed when I am not near the router and on WIFI, but my Laptop gets ~200mbps or so on a good day whilst near my PC. 

 

Running an ethernet line to the modem is not a realistic solution due to my location compared to where the Modem and Router are so I am stuck with wireless for the foreseeable future.

 

Another thing to keep in mind, everything Wifi wise was working perfectly for around a year or so until I recently moved and then started having these issues.

 

If it is needed, here are my PC specs:

Mobo: B450 Tomahawk Max

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

GPU: RTX 2060 Super

PSU: EVGA 600W

 

If anyone has any ideas as to what may be going on, they would be greatly appreciated!

2.4g ban

Thats probably the issue. 5Ghz is built for reliability and performance. 2.4 Ghz is built for distance but is not that reliable due to how congested the band is.
