I'm having a really odd problem with my internet that's been happening quiet often lately. When I open a server browser in TF2 and refresh the servers, my internet just straight up crashes, but not the usual crash, Windows still shows my computer as connected to the network, for example when I'm in Discord while the internet crashes, I'm still connected to it and I can hear the other person and he can hear me, BUT everything else internet related just doesnt load; websites, Steam and even the refreshing in TF2 stops.
It usually goes back up in ~2 minutes (or if I restart my router), but it's frustrating when it happens all the time.
I've tried resetting factory settings for my router, tried connecting through wifi instead of ethernet. But nothing worked, problem still occurs.
Router that I'm using is ZyXEL P-660HN-T3A (provided by my ISP) with the latest firmware I found on my ISP's website (3.40(TSP.4)b2).
I've had the same internet and router for about 2-3 years and it has only been happening for the last month.
Can anyone help me with this?
EDIT: Problem also SOMETIMES happens when I'm downloading torrents for a long period of time but then I have to restart my router.

I've been having the exact same issue as of late. It doesn't always happen though, only sometimes. If I have a stream or youtube video up and watching, it'll continue to play perfectly but any new connections get blocked.

Yup, that, it seems really weird to me.

I dont think that has anything to do with my issue here. I'm not downloading anything.

See #3
In Steam go to Settings -> In-Game
The last option is a drop down menu "In-Game server browser: Max pings / minute".
Set it to the lowest (250) then work your way up until your Internet crashes again and use the highes working value (or one below that to be safe).

Oh, that actually worked, wow, thanks. Managed to go up to 1000, then my internet was going down again.

How do I fix it in BitTorrent, so it doesn't crash there? What do I set there?
