Question Wifi keeps disconnecting while lauching the game

[Shipson]

Im using wifi because my ethernet board connector is broken and i have warranty on PC so i cant fix it unless i sent it back and wait like 2 months (my warranty is like 8 months more i can wait) and it was working properly since i bought external HDD and even then it was working but last 2 days whenever i start the game (doesn't matter if its on steam or elsewhere) it just "disconnect" i lose my internet connection on google and game, and when i close the game my internet connection is back to normal. I tried looking in firewall if its allowed to go through it is and now im out of ideas and i can't find suitable solution on internet. So if anyone have solution that i could try thanks in advance. I have internet if i use hotspot on mobile but i have big ping so the question is why i can use my mobile wifi and not my regular wifi (its the same wifi im sharing the wifi to pc through phone not mobile data)

Welcome to the forum

the game

So it's just one game this happens with. What game is that?
What other games work properly with Wi-Fi?

When our experts drop by, they'll need more info to help you:
Make & model of PC might be enough if there aren't too many variations of it, so our members can see what sort of Wi-Fi hardware is included in it—but details of mobo, Wi-Fi chip/card, and router + any extender would save time.

Its not only one game its every game I currently have on my PC: League of Legends, Albion Online, Payday 2 and Lost Ark. I wanted to record it using OBS what is going on and realized its happening also when I start recording.

My PC doesn't have WI-FI built I bought TP-Link Wireless USB Adapter. I don't think its problem with router because I only lose connection on my PC, phone works fine. I also moved League of Legends to my internal SSD (thought external HDD was the problem) but it's the same.

The router I'm using is TP-Link TL-WR840N if needed.

I troubleshoot the network when it happens and now its showing:
"The default gateway is not available"
And one time I tested I got this message:
"The connection between your access point, router or cable modem and internet is broken" or "was broken" I can't remember, because every time I troubleshoot it "fix" it but not really.

I'm not an expert but I've had problems with those USB wifi adapters in the past. Especially if I've downloaded several games using them. I tend to stick to PCI-E wifi cards. I think the USB ones can overheat and fail.

Thank you all that tried to help, I don't know how to close the thread but it fixed itself somehow... Maybe it did overheat or something and needed some time I don't know but now its working how it should. Thanks again
