Question / Help YouTube LiveStream Connection Dropping Out

Well I have a bit of an issue here. I recently got into OBS and I absolutely loved it. It was doing brilliantly until one day everything went to crap. For some reason, even though I changed nothing on my settings, my live stream drops from youtube's livestream preview and cuts out, then after a few minutes will pick back up again and continue to stream live missing those minutes worth of gaming and therefore creating like 4 - fifteen minute long videos instead of the hour and twenty minute video I streamed. The Youtube connection status won't go red or anything. Just go from green to dead. It's being doing this for two weeks now and no matter how much I play with the bitrate, downscaling, etc. it does it every time. Whether I'm five minutes into a game or twelve minutes I can be assured the signal will drop at some point. Ookla Speedtest tells me I have a 39mbps download and 41mbps upload, its FiOS so the upload is typically faster. So I shouldn't be having an issues with bandwidth. Can someone point me in the right direction here?

I've reset to default settings on OBS - no dice.
I've reset my stream key on You Tube's "Stream Now" - no dice.
I've fiddled with stream settings, bit rates, have tested and re-tested my connection speed - no dice.

Only thing I haven't done is run a 100 foot long cable from my computer to the router. I REALLY don't want to buy or do this. Yes, I realize I'm streaming over wifi but it was working just fine before so why the shenaniganery now?

Thanks guys! I appreciate you taking the time to read and troubleshoot with me.

I think I did this log thing right.
