well you didn't give us much to go on. You basically said "my car runs until I hit the gas". Way more info is needed.
1. What modem are you running?
2. Speeds you pay for? What do you actually get hardwired?
3. Firmware on your router?
4. Streaming? Streaming what? Are you streaming over wireless/wired, are you using a service? What exactly is going on?
5. What are you streaming off? phone/pc/ps4/etc
6. What have you done to try to fix the problems? There's a troubleshooting section in your support section.
7. Does the wifi drop for all devices are just one?
8. More details. The more you list the better we can help. We can't help you with a vague statement about dropped wifi. I read through some of your prior posts to see if there was any details there. there wasn't and when you were asked specifics, it wasn't answered. We need details to help you.
Here's your support site with manuals, firmware, *troubleshooting*, etc.
