Do applications and games crash? Do other devices like your cellphone also loose internet connectivity?
Overclocking has nothing to do with internet disconnections, it could be just your internet provider or your WiFi card.

when I am even playing light games it even will crash them and while this happens my brother is still on his laptop on the same network as me I just tried switching the wifi card to another new card

If your non-online games are crashing then reduce your overclock step by step until its stable.

I was thinking about changing the voltage would that help at all and if it would how much higher chould I put it at

3400 MHz is too much I think, in my case 3200 MHz was too much. Change your ram speed to 2933 MHz, 2700x CPU can only handle 2933 MHz apparently (says so on AMD's website). Had the exact same problem was so annoying and was really distraught because I couldn't use the gaming PC i just built, but that fixed it for me.

It also depends on the motherboard. I am running 3333Mhz with my 1800X.

If you believe your overclock is a fault, the best first step is to see if the issue occurs at stock settings.
This is the paranoia with overclocking. When something goes wrong, the question becomes, "Is it the overclock?" Did you run stress tests like aida64/memtest when you dialed in your overclock? Or did someone else overclock the PC for you?

Changing the WiFi card may help but the issue could be signal strength, interference or an unknown cause. Changing from 5GHz to 2.4GHz can help if possible. A good test would be to try using an Ethernet connection. Until you have tried troubleshooting don't randomly change settings in BIOS. You could find that you then break your overclock, adding another issue to the problem.

Also ALWAYS overclock one component at a time.
