Hey @Winterpai,

I appreciate you following up. Keep me updated on how it goes once you've had the chance to test it out.

Hopping into this thread. I've been having internet dropouts only while playing Apex. I wrote a Python script to confirm my suspicions:

import time
import datetime
import requests
import psutil

while True:
    try:
        res = requests.get('https://www.google.com')
    except Exception as e:
        print('cant connect??')
        if 'r5apex.exe' in (p.name() for p in psutil.process_iter()):
            print('Apex is running!!')
        else:
            print('Apex is NOT running...')
        print(datetime.datetime.now())
    time.sleep(5)

I've ran this for 24+ hours, (while watching videos, browsing, etc) and the only time it drops out is when I'm playing. During that time the internet through the house functions normally. I've attached my dxdiag file. I usually have Discord running on another monitor. I play through Steam.
