So recently I began having this issue. Online games either have horrid packet loss and connections to server or will simply not maintain a connection to the server at all and kick me. All other internet features are fine (ie: how I am able to type this right now. Websites work fine). All of my battlefield games display every single network warning indicator and in Overwatch I simply can not maintain a connection to the server for more than 5 mins. I have reset my router, updated my network drivers, restarted my computer, turned off windows firewall, cleared my winsock data, and much more. It is not a problem with my internet. All other computers in the house game just fine and I have a 500mb/s connection. I am at my wits end with this one.
Edit: I tried moving closer to my router and that helped the problem but did not solve it. I also tried plugging right into the router and that, again, helped the problem but did not solve it. I refuse, however, to believe that it is router proximity...the computer normally sits no more than 40 feet away from it anyway and all other computers (even ones very far away from it) have zero issues.
Edit: Also I am extremely new at anything that goes beyond reinstalling drivers...any layman's explanations would be helpful
