OBS disconnecting?

So apparently when I stream, my stream cuts ever few minutes for a little, then reconnects. I have no idea why it keeps doing this, but it's kind of annoying. Any idea what would be causing this? My ping seems stable...

Yes, I am on wireless. Do you think it's just cutting in and out because of that?

I've noticed this happening on many streams, most of which are using OBS. I thought it was something on Twitch's end, since the site can be spotty every now and then.

It seems random when it cuts in and out, but it will only be for about a second or so at a time.

Yes. Streaming on wireless is bad. No one should ever do that.

I had the same issue with OBS. I had to disable aero on startup for it to work properly.

I had this problem, had to turn my "Buffer Size" down a bit. I had it the same as my max bitrate, which is bad apparently. You might wanna set that to 1000 if it's not.

I have like 14mb up and down, but I'm on wireless. My internet is plenty fast enough, but is wireless that unreliable?

I keep alt-tabbing to OBS just to see "Reconnecting (not responding)" and my stream is dead... any ideas?

Wireless. It's unreliable for streaming.
