One last thing as I wake up here this morning.
@TrailBeast
Try hard wiring your laptop in with up to a 25' ethernet cable direct from the Cable Modem.
Not sure if today's cable modems have the built in wifi broadcast capabilities. If not then they are probably jumping to an additional wifi router in your home. One more possible link for line drop failure.
As you know, can't beat a hard line direct connection from the cable modem vs wifi connection for reliability and performance.
Most everyone has everything hooked up on wifi in there homes nowadays.
Got a wifi TV, wifi access thermostat for your furnace/AC, wifi access for opening your door locks and roll up garage doors, wifi surveillance cameras??
All these electronic wifi add ons can degrade your useful wifi signal, not leaving you a whole lot left to work with.
I am sure as you know . . making the best use of the internet service that is being provided to your home, can bring your reliability way up.
