Android Central Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) and everything works fine. The wifi is okay when I stream on Netflix, watch youtube, do video calls, and any other internet related activities. But as soon as I launch an online game, the wifi suddenly drops instantly and when I exit the game, the wifi goes back to its strong signal.
I tried connecting to another wifi network and everything works fine except when connecting to my home wifi. So I assumed there must be something wrong with our router but then I tried to play the exact same games on different devices connected on my home wifi and everything is okay EXCEPT for my device.

I already tried the following:
-restore my device to factory default
-restart my wifi router

No luck. Can anyone help me?
 
Welcome to Android Central! Do you manage your home wi-fi network, or does someone else? Which router do you have? Check the router manual to see if it has any settings for QoS (Quality of Service), or any gaming settings.

I manage my wifi network, I have a sky broadband router and I don't know if it has the settings for QoS or any gaming settings
