Hi, this is my first post here.
My issue:
I will randomly disconnect from certain games for a couple of seconds, just long enough to be kicked from most game servers. I do not only lose connection to the game but also to any other programs. I also experience this while browsing on google. There is sometimes a time period of 1-5 seconds where nothing loads.
When I am speaking with friends on Discord, and this happens - their voices get cut out for like 0.1 seconds. So the issue is not that big on Discord.
To make it even trickier this does not apply to most games, the only ones I have issues with are Overwatch, Minecraft, and Rocket League.
This issue has been there for a few months now, and it is the most annoying thing ever.
When I get these connection drops for a few seconds, it is enough to kick me out of game servers as I said before.
Ethernet and Wifi:
So this issue happens when I am on an Ethernet cable, but also when I am using my phone - or my desktop on the wireless wifi connection. It also happens on my family members devices.
Different houses:
So my parents are divorced, so I move my desktop between both houses.
This issue happens at both houses.
It happens for all devices in both houses too.
So I paid to get this problem fixed at a computer shop near me. He ran the pc overnight, and couldn't get the connection loss to happen. So it apparently only happens at home. But the weird thing is that it happens at both my houses.
My wireless hotspot:
I have tried connecting my pc to my wireless hot spot for a whole day, and I did not get those connection losses. It also doesn't happen when I use data on my phone.
When does this happen?
This happens every 20-25 minutes.
Here is a list of what happens in different games:
Overwatch:
When I play non-competitive, I get kicked out of the current match I am in, without being able to rejoin.
But when I play competitive, I get kicked to the main menu. And from there I am able to click "Rejoin game". Altough I can rejoin, I still get punished by getting -75%XP for the next 5 games.
Minecraft:
It happens when I play on an online server. When the connection drop comes, I can feel the game not responding to what I am doing. And after about 30 seconds I get kicked. When I rejoin after the kick - I lost the progress from the last 30 seconds.
But when I can feel that the game is not responding that much to what I am doing, I am able to check by trying to text something in the chat. If I type something in chat, and the chat doesn't appear on my screen - I can just leave the server and rejoin again. And then I don't have to wait those 30 seconds to get kicked.
Rocket League:
In rocket league I get frozen for like 2 seconds during a match. And I get to play again. So I don't get kicked out of the match. But I do get kicked out of the current group I am playing with.
All the games together:
I can see a pattern in the connection loss. It happens at the same time. When I get disconnected on Overwatch, it happens in Minecraft, Rocket League, discord, and the browser at the same exact time too. (I have tried this)
I really don't know what to do, and this is getting out of hand. I am not such a tech person myself, so I hope some of you guys can help me!
Here is some links to some people that has the same problem:

In these posts they have listed some stuff they already have tried troubleshooting with. I have not tried these things.

It happens for all devices in both houses too.
- Both houses has the same router and internet provider (And internet plan. 300mbit)
- The houses are 300 meters apart.

Losing Connection for 1-2 Seconds During Some Games
This is my first post here. I'm usually not one to ask for help but I've been troubleshooting this issue for at least two years and I give up. My issue: I will randomly disconnect from certain games for a couple seconds, just long enough to be booted from most servers. I do not only lose...

[SOLVED] - Internet disconnects every few seconds
Hello there! There was a problem with wiring in my area, so I spent two weeks without internet, and had to change ISPs. But right now, I have a really annoying problem: once every 20~30 minutes, my connection stops working for 5 to 10 seconds, then works again normally. For most things, like...
