it's been happening for a long time, i just really procrastinated about asking for help about it. whenever i start qbit my connection becomes unstable (sites have a low chance to load at all, much less load completely) then within minutes i lose connection completely. not only on my pc but on any device connected to the router. to fix it i have to exit qbit and restart the modem/router.
i have no idea why this is happening. i tried to use the "troubleshoot problems" on my connection but it only reports that my router lost connection with the internet. i tried playing with some of the settings in qbit (too many to remember them all) like limiting download and upload speed or the number of connections with no change. i scanned my whole pc to see if something is out of the ordinary but everything seems alright.
i'm using windows 10. no VPN. it's been happening since before version 4.6 and i've been updating qbit whenever possible.
please help.
