Making big downloads (such as updating my OS) crashes my wifi connection

As the title says, making big downloads crashes my wifi connection. I have tested with both connections I have access to, and it happens in both, although the effects are slightly different. My connection at home crashes completely for everyone and takes multiple minutes to come back, but takes big downloads to crash (such as big OS updates) while the other one (seemingly) only crashes for me and only needs me to reconnect for it to come back, but needs way less to crash (just streaming YouTube at 480p makes it crash sometimes!).

This problem started happening seemingly randomly in late October 2024 and has seemed to get worse since.

This happens with both Windows (Windows 11) and Linux (happened on both Fedora 41 KDE and the Pop!_OS COSMIC alpha). My Framework is the only device that seems to have this issue on both networks, which leads me to believe that it’s an issue with my computer and not the routers or the OSes.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to fix it?

When the download speed exceed 700mbps it sometimes crash the wifi for a sec
