Question / Help Frame dropping

Now I know there are tons of threads here about it, and yes I have read every single word of this thread https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/dropped-frames-disconnecting-lag-read-this-first.8870/ but see my problem differs a bit than most.

On my macbook pro I can stream just fine, I use OBS studio for test streams to twitch.tv since that's the only version mac supports. I dropped 0 frames on a 2 hour test stream, and also 0 on the several 1 hour tests I have performed before.

Here's where the problem lays, my main computer. This is the computer I use everything for, I need to stream from this computer. At random times it seems (I have tried and tried to figure out if it happens at a certain time or specific times of the day and I can't see a pattern) my Kbps drops to about 730 then 0, if not 0 instantly. Sometimes my stream won't drop any frames but that's rare now, I provided 2 logs both of which I dropped frames heavily so I stopped streaming. And this is when I stream at 2000 Kbps (if I stream higher, it drops to a little higher thank 730, maybe it's a percentage? not sure) and I have tried EVERYTHING

I bought a new wifi card after my old 2 had same results (wasn't complete waste, this one gets higher speeds)
I uninstalled my antivirus and tested after the restart
I reinstalled my operating system!!!!

I have tried everything the post I linked suggested except for hardwiring because my computer is a bit too far to do that (but my macbook works anyways so it's not my connection or wifi either). It's also not my wifi card since I have tested it with 3. I am stumped. COMPLETELY stumped. I'll take any help I can get.

I don't know why I can't upload logs, it's being stupid so here's some pastebin links

I figured out the problem, if anyone else has had the same problem maybe this will help you too.

My family has 2 routers, the main one and another one hooked up from it using ethernet. I learned that having 2 routers next to each other can cause interfeirence so I unplugged one of them and did a lot of testing and it seems to work. The reason I could stream from my macbook fine is because it was using the 5.0 connection while my pc doesn't have support for 5.0 connection.

Hope this helps anybody who had the same problem and cause.
