Frequent disconnects/reconnects when livestreaming to YouTube

Hello,

I'm relatively new to the streaming world, but was fortunate enough to find OBS early on. For the first six months, everything went great--but after moving to a new building, I've been having constant problems with disconnects/reconnects (lasting 1-3 seconds each)--about once per 5 minutes.

Previously, on the same system and using the same OBS configurations, I did not have this issue. We have the same ISP and speed (gigabit) in the new place.

I am including the logfile from the most recent streaming session when this occurred. Any suggestions would be appreciated--I did look through the forum for solutions, and there are folks with similar problems, but it seems that the solutions really were context dependent--hence the log file here.

Thank you!

FWIW, I'm going to try to see if my ISP has any ideas (Xfinity--so not optimistic, but I guess one never knows...we do have gig speed plan and regularly test at or above 500mbps down/40 mbps up, though I know those generic speedtests don't tell you anything about connection stability, would could be the problem here). But if anyone on the forum has thoughts beyond trying to troubleshoot the internet connection itself (or advice on exactly what to look for there), I'm all ears!

Create a restream.io account, link that to your YouTube account, setup restream.io in OBS and try streaming that way.

Thanks! Would passing through Restream bypass some of the transient connectivity issues?

Also, I am wondering if anyone has specific thoughts regarding the logfile in the original post before Xfinity comes tomorrow to troubleshoot the line coming to the house. One challenge is that with the house layout I cannot use a hardwired ethernet connection from the room I need to stream from (but the wireless signal is very strong there still, absent what seem to be transient connection issues).
