Sorry, I had to leave in a hurry. I'm back now, tho.
Ok, first of all just to clarify I am not using a laptop, it's a desktop PC and it is pretty well cooled, it's an old game anyway it shouldn't cause any problems of that nature.
Firewall is not an issue because I have turned it off and I have the same problem.
Bit Defender is my antivirus but again I did try with it turned off to no avail, also it usually warns me when it interferes with anything.
Win 10 is up to date AFAIK.

I would like to try this if you think it will help, but where would I get the actual DNS server?

I do know that windows 10 constantly updating catches me out on a few of the PC's in the house as it effects some more then others.. again that wouldn't be a gradual disconnect though.
As for the programs I am running on windows 10. In 2013 I think I used to run win 7 iirc, I used to play SWTOR with no programs open everything that wasn't necessary I would end task from the Task Manager. I would basically only run SWOTR and Explorer ( which btw is ludicrous, just immagine no alt tabbing, no music etc.) it was the only way I could play for about 30 mins before randomly getting Disconnected. It sucked, but I played a few weeks like that. I remember I tried to solve the issue back then, it was Error 9000 in 2013, but someone told me Error 9000 was to ambiguous of an error to be solved so after much frustration and failure I gave up on the game. Now I have taken up arms again and want to solve this issue because it has plagued me ever since, also I have a bit of time on my hands and would like to get back into the game (Star Wars ep.VII and all).
Now back to what @proxos666 was saying, the first thing to do is to get my hands on a new network cable and try that.
And also I know you were joking about me switching PCs with my flatmate, but I will do it just to see if the game works, maybe like this we can narrow down the possible causes.
Anyway sorry for my rambling.
Your help is appreciated, have a good one,
Ace Hammerheart.
