internet 5 second internet disconnect only while gaming

[ExabyteGaming]

I've been having a problem with my internet lately, Every time i try to do some gaming on my PC the internet seems to cut for about 5 seconds, when it does disconnect varies, ive been having this problem for a few weeks. Im sure its not our ISP because we have never had problems with them before. I currently have a linksys RE6300 WiFi extender that carries the signal to my PC via LAN. and even when i use a USB internet adapter the drops happen more often but for less time. Again, this only happens when gaming. ( any suggestions would be very helpful!)

Try reinstalling your drivers

I just tried that and it does it more often but the lag spikes take less time to recover so somewhat a fix

try moving your pc near your modem and use ethernet to see if this still happens

i moved it closer and used Ethernet to connect...and it was much better it didn't disconnect....is there any settings i could change (on my router/modem or even my wifi extension) because i cant keep it down there forever
