Question / Help Dropping lots of frames overnight, while XSplit doesn't

I have a raspberry pi which I use as a server for RTMP among other things. The issue started last night; I drop frames like crazy in OBS. I normally stream at 750-900 bitrate, but now just 300 gets me often in the yellow zone... I tried everything in the stickied topic; nothing is relevant. In fact, this morning after a reboot OBS was magically fine again, but I had to reboot since, and it's all back to being worthless (same for the next 10 reboots). I installed a new router this afternoon, and went from wireless broadcasting to wired, and not a damn thing has changed to help. Streaming with OBS on my laptop instead of my desktop? 0 dropped frames (but my laptop is way too weak for gaming). I tried reinstalling OBS and even wiping my configuration and starting over... no go.

OBS and XSplit with the same settings: OBS drops 40% frames and XSplit 0.
I've used OBS for years on 2 computers without any issue, and it would pain me so much to have to switch to XSplit.

Does anyone have any idea what I could try?

Yes, identical settings.

EDIT: I have to apologize. XSplit lied about the dropped frames: It assumes it never drops frames if it manages to deliver within an absurdly long time frame (over a minute from what I saw). The issue is really my network, or rather my desktop trying to send data over the network, be it through my wireless USB thing or wired, I can only achieve ~25kb/s.
