So recently when I'm in game or downloading something my wifi will randomly cut off.
I'll still be connected to the router but I have no internet access.
By disconnecting and reconnecting the wifi solves it but shortly after it will happen again.
It's really annoying and I cant play anything with it.

Update: The company providing my internet sent a technician to check and they said that they found no issues. Could it be my computer?

set it on max performance and see if your wifi cuts off again
if so, log on to your router and deactivate OBSS and power saving modes in your routers wifi settings
1st: look in your control panel if.there is some energy saving applied. Especially Win10 likes to do that in order to save energy with no regards of usability.
2nd: log into your router and look in the WiFi settings for energy save / RX save / OBSS and deactivate it
It sometimes interferes with some wlan adapters

Where would I look to find out if Windows 10 has applied energy saving settings in control panel?
