Please post your spec, including the Wifi adapter.

As this only occurs online, naturally I'd look towards your internet connection. Wifi is never as stable as wired...... so to troubleshoot, I'd suggest connecting via ethernet to your router to see if the issue persists.

Neither am I, but it's the obvious place to start...... if the issue occurs online and not off, it's unlikely (although not impossible) to be hardware.
So, odds are relatively high that the issue is either the wifi adapter (or line of site to the router etc), or your internet connection overall.

Obviously that's not an exhaustive list, and there's many other possibilities, but ruling the wifi adapter in or out is a pretty easy troubleshooting step to begin with.
