I have a problem I cannot solve.

Rocket league seems to kill my Internet connection. I mean literally kill it.

When ever I launch it after about one minute (at most) the Internet dies. Ping goes to 300ms and then it dies.
This happens on both my 4g and home.Ethernet is used for broadband connection.
After this I can run speed tests on it which confirm the ping is 300+ and this is on a different device.

Then it goes back to normal.
But Launch the game again and it repeats. Day and night all the time. This didnt happen a few weeks ago.

Because its doing the same on 4g as broadband I cannot understand it.

Any ideas?
 
Disable/Uninstall any AV/firewall software temporarily?

Yes I tried that. Had no effect. I'm not sure if it's a dud router? It seems to be more than just that game on further investigation. But more noticeable in game obviously.

Is weird I getting the same on 4g as in wired broadband
 
I'll definitely try that reset!

Setup is

Broadband
-surface book to ethernet to router
-router is bog standard sky
-Internet is 17down 1up (Mbit) at best
-tried wired and wireless

4g
-plusnet standard
-surface book to phone hot-spot
 
You could try a "Network Reset"?

Wow!
Thank you so much.
This seems to have solved the issue. On some quick testing I'm no longer getting the issue.

I test properly tomorrow.
This was driving me insane

How is it possible for an end device to disrupt a tune devices?
 
I'll also check these. As yes, I am using them.
Can they cause a problem just bring connected?
 
Hmm.
I also have tp link ones that have been fine for ages.
I will try 100pc wireless.

Maybe the 4g thing is unrelated
Or the laptop itself was causing the issue with the network adapter reset working

Will report back tonight
 
I isolated the powerlines by buying a cheap 30m Ethernet cable and running it downstairs to connect the PC directly to the router. But yeah,if your PC has wireless on board, connect using that, just to confirm whether they're causing the problem.

Ill just disconnect the ethernet cable from the router and try WiFi.
It will be instantly obvious if that's the problem
 
Indeed it was the tp link powerline adapters!
Literally removed it completely and not a single problem!
