I've checked all options. WinMTR, Wireshark, CMD, contacting the provider—none detected any problems. The internet cable and motherboard are fine, the router works too. Yet packet loss still happens in every game. Sometimes it appears, other times not, but it doesn’t affect gameplay. How could this exist if everything seems normal? It’s definitely not coming from the servers, since it occurs everywhere. I thought it might be on the provider, but they say everything is okay. This is really confusing and the endless loss icons are driving me crazy—almost obsessive. Please, help me out!

Disconnect your Ethernet or power off the Wi-Fi. Connect your phone via USB for internet access. Run a test on mobile data. This should help separate your home network from the problem.

You probably won't think twice about this—I came up with it, and it seems like either the provider or the cable is to blame. If I hadn’t been so clever and modest, you’d have been a real help!
