I would attempt using ethernet to verify it is just wifi on your device, not due to any unusual hardware or software problems.
Wifi frequently drops and experiences packet loss, yet it remains hidden in the wifi chips, so nothing appears to be wrong. A real 20-second drop would be noticeable, allowing commands to be sent during that period. You might suspect the interface is entering a disconnected state.
Compare the IPCONFIG /all output when it functions properly versus when it fails.

Sorry, what is happening? You don't need to be a technician. What should I do?

Add the note that the internet speed should be set to 2 Mbps for upload, and explain the reason.

So initially attempt to connect your pc to the router using an ethernet cable... even if this requires moving the pc temporarily. This is just to narrow down the troubleshooting options. It's not worth changing software settings or drivers if the issue seems to be with wifi. Outages on wifi are very frequent, but they usually last only a short time—not 20 seconds. An outage differs significantly from slow speed. Your issue might be simple: the pc is in a bad spot and the wifi signal is weak. A low upload speed could indicate the router isn't receiving the signal properly. Make sure the antenna is securely connected to the computer's ports. Try positioning the computer so its back faces the router. You might also experiment with other angles; wifi signals can travel through walls but may bounce off surfaces, such as an open door, allowing the connection to work.

And after that, capture some images from Reliability History/Monitor and share them as needed.
