I have been battling constant issues while streaming to Mixcloud. The connection will be strong and then out of nowhere drop all the way to 0kb/s. Every other app on my computer has a perfect connection. I even ran a speed test while OBS was saying there was no connection (see screenshot).
I replaced my modem and have a brand new EERO Pro mesh wifi setup, but I'm connecting through ethernet and still have the same problems. I've even connected to my cell phone hotspot and same issue occurs.

Modem: Arris Surfboard S33

Here's the screenshot and my log file below...hope someone can help. It's driving me nuts.
