My internet seems to stop unexpectedly even though I'm still connected. I can only try the troubleshooter or reconnect, but that won't work right now since I'm in the middle of a game. It looks like my NIC might be the issue, as my phone's Wi-Fi still works while I'm frustrated on the PC. The NIC drivers are up to date. Need any advice before things get worse?

Checking your connection type—Wi-Fi, wired, or a mix. It seems like you're covering all bases.

It might simply be the fact you're connected to Wi-Fi. Not all wireless adapters perform equally and some can drop connections often. If you can, consider switching to a wired connection. Otherwise, adjust your settings. For 5GHz networks, you might test with a 2GHz frequency and observe improvements. If you have many devices, try pausing some temporarily. Know which Wi-Fi router and adapter you're using.
