WiFi cannot multitask

[Tserenlhagva]

I use wifi on my windows 10. Previously i thought my wifi was cutting out but it seems that it just cant multitask

Example
In discord speaking normally website wont load in and when it finally loads in after 8 refreshes. I disconnect from discord.

It also happens with websites. Cant use 2 websites at the same time.

I tried
-Restarting my router
-Forgetting and reconnecting from my pc
-Resetting network settings from settings

How can i fix this?

You have something very messed up on your PC it sounds like.

Very technically no applications can actually use the wifi at the same exact time. Still that is all transparent to the end application they just blindly send their traffic to the wifi device driver and it will place the traffic in buffers and give the illusion that the traffic is all being sent when it is really being sent sequentially.

You can try to replace the wifi drivers but I have never seen drivers break in the way you describe. It is almost like there is some form of traffic manager application running on your pc.

dropping connections due to buffering may be from too large of a buffer.
The download side will be controlled by the isp or your wifi if it's quality is bad.

if your buffer is oversized you would have a 3000+ms on bufferbloat on dslreports
latency shouldn't go over 1000ms.

if the buffer is too large packets will sit in it too long and other connections packets drop and after so many the connection may be dropped. each program will have it's own rules that are enforced when dropping clients. discord may have a tcp connection to check if you're online and after X amount of ACK0 they drop your connection.

even if your buffer is sized properly to avoid disconnects. the bufferbloat will still ruin gaming or voice.
some games enforce latency minimums. they constantly check your ping and drop you if it's bad. overwatch does this and puts you in timeout.
do some testing on wired to see if it's buffering on your wifi.

you can manually manage bufferbloat if you're not sharing the internet with anyone. QoS can help a lot if you are sharing with other people. edgerouter x, ddwrt, openwrt, and ipfire have bufferbloat qos. make sure it's not from the wifi first.
