Hey there! I don’t have any specific knowledge about this problem, but I understand how frustrating it can be. It sounds like your internet speed drops every 30 seconds, which affects gaming and other data-heavy activities. Since the issue hasn’t changed with new routers or devices, it might point to a hardware-related problem rather than just configuration or software issues. Let’s explore some possible causes together.

Checked if I powered down the router, let it rest for ten minutes, then restored it. Also verified whether I updated the BIOS, chipset, or network drivers.

Welcome to the discussion board! We’ll go through some actions to address possible problems: Start by using an Ethernet connection and see if the issue continues. Have you switched routers, but is the modem still working? The screenshot appears to show multiple downloads—are they one after another or several at once? When playing games, does it freeze or lag significantly? That would be problematic. Check your system specs and ensure you’ve updated the networking/WAN drivers from the manufacturer’s site. Run DISM and SFC commands; is this consistent? Does it occur regularly or only under certain conditions? Also, consider whether you live in an apartment or a single-family home—this helps assess signal strength. How have you tested with other devices? Are the results similar? Is it related to gaming, downloading, or just a phone speed test?
