Not sure if this is the right place but this is my 22 post on the internet about this problem.

Here is the problem, let's say I wanna play BF3 or CS:GO so I go and join the game and play 5 or 8 minutes into the round and then suddenly I get kicked out of the game telling me that I lost internet connection, it happens only when I play games and it happens only to me in the house with 2 different NICs one of them is wireless and the other is wired and both have the same problem, now here is what I did to try to fix the problem:

Reset the modem
Reset the router
Reinstalling NICs drivers
Ran anti virus/spyware/malware multiple times
Reset my network stat using specialized programs
Diagnosing the network from netstat to pinging Google (Nothing seem to be wrong with it)
Rebooted the PC over 50 times in the last 24 hours.
Flushed the DNS

And many more things I tried, I almost tried everything and no one is helping me with this so I hope you guys have an idea of what's going on, because this is really frustrating me and I don't know what to do.
 
Sounds like a port issue if you're being disconnected from only games and it's happened on several cards/PCs. Does your router have UPNP? If not, you'll have to open the ports for each game. Most modern routers however support UPNP.

Let me know.

UPNP is disabled and it happens only on my desktop.. I will really really appreciate any help.
 
Try using UPnP, or enable it rather. Using UPnP, applications that support it can automatically tell the router to open the port they're listening on and close them when they're done.

Did that and same thing, anything else I can do?
 
How do you know your not losing connection (even for 1 or 2 seconds) when your not gaming?
 
who's your internet service provider?
to me it sounds like one of the two things happening.
1. your Modem is unable to keep up with the constant stream of packets coming in and going, as packet loss occurs the modem resets itself and you disconnect.
2. depending on your ISP and how you connect. if its DSL or Cable the issue could be your provider or line coming into your house. if you connect to your ISP via Wireless antenna or satellite your issue is there. wireless transmission from home to ISP is delayed and can cause the packet loss that is making you disconnect from the game servers.

If you feel either option is not this. i would recommend taking one of your computers to a friends house with a different modem/router and ISP and give it a shot.. if you dont have problems then you know its one of those three and not in your computer

I have a program measures internet disconnections every 2 seconds and it never showed that it disconnects when I am browsing or playing a Unity based game.. That's why I'm confused.

My laptop works just fine, played couple of CS:GO rounds with zero disconnection and it never showed weird activities, and I played Gotham Impostors for 3 hours and no problem, but on my desktop I won't last more than 15 minutes with it disconnecting.
 
Is your desktop made by 1 of the big giants who mass produce desktop or do you build it yourself?
 
well then, its got to be your NIC Hardware or somthing.. i would try a driffrent NIC

As I said I tried it with 2 NICs and both are new, there is no way in hell they both have the same problem, and I have a USB NIC too that I can try it with but I know 100% this is not the case
 
opps my bad.. didn't catch that part.. let me think about it some more


what brand is your router?
have you tried plugging in the computer directly to the modem to see if that would change anything?

things you can also try
disable the wireless NIC in the device manager and see what happens. (recommend Wired connection for gaming)
