Is anyone experiencing their internet cutting 9ut? This be the 3rd time I had to unplug the router

This particular thread/forum isn't about general disconnects - which do happen - but rather very specific issues of being dropped while playing games or other applications. Unfortunately this last Friday and today I've noticed it's started making my work laptop lose connection to my softphone service (Cisco Jabber) which previously had no issues - this is while connecting through a VPN that seems to not have any issues, but I'm also noticing my PC saying it doesn't have a connection briefly at the same time (Even though I am hardwired in directly to the gateway)

Also, Vermintide 2 I can now safely add to the list of affected games. 

Overall the service is stable, speeds good, videos no problem, etc. It’s just the very specific dropping of certain connection types which *didn’t happen before* - I even did a deep factory reset of my Gateway yesterday and I’m not sure it did anything. 

Same for me, today my work VPN keeps dropping and yet speeds stay fine.  I've had to reboot 3 times, after a reboot the VPN stays stable for 40 minutes to an hour then starts flaking out.  Like you said, this is new behavior that started mid december for me.
