Windows 10 random time outs

cn flag

I recently started experiencing the issue that my internet just randomly "cuts out". At home I have a DSL Router and a Repeater, all from the same brand (Fritz!). The repeater is wirelessly connected to the router and added to a mesh. I am locally connected to my repeater with a RJ45 cable, directly connected to my motherboard NIC. I started experiencing the problem like a week ago, and what I did to fix it was the following:

  • I restarted both the router and the repeater (simple, thought it might help, it didn't),
  • Then I looked on both my repeater and my router for a strange behavior (web gui) and if I had any duplicates in my network (idk how it could be possible because I only have 1 DHCP Server but I checked it just to be sure). That wasn't the case.
  • I reinstalled the Firmware update on my repeater, I thought it might have been broken, but no.
  • I restored Factory settings on my repeater and configured it manually
  • Tried different NICs on my computer just to check if it was a broken NIC, it wasn't, no network card worked properly.
  • Tried the good old windows troubleshooter but it didn't show me anything
  • Finally reinstalled windows 10 and noticed that it got better, but I still get random timeouts when pinging (also random freezes when playing, watching a stream etc.).
  • I also tried doing same ping on ubuntu, it didn't work, so it wasn't the OS fault.
  • The funny thing about it was the fact, that after disconnecting my computer completely from the network and waited for router to notice it I then connected the external NIC to my laptop and tried pinging my router (which didn't work on my desktop pc) and everything worked just fine so I don't think the repeater is broken. The wifi provided by the repeater is also working, but not on my desktop pc. I have a Realtek 8821AE Wireless card in my computer and some kind of Realte PCIe GbE controller, tried updating the drivers, disabling it, uninstalling etc... Nothing worked.

Do you guys have any idea what could cause this strange problem? I tried so many things I don't know what else I could do.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
