Microsoft Teams crashes my entire Internet connection after starting a meeting

Hello Jared327 This is something you'll definitely want to report to our https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum?sort=LastReplyDate&dir=Desc&tab=All&status=all&mod=&modAge=&advFil=&postedAfter=&postedBefore=&threadType=All&isFilterExpanded=false&page=1 tech support site.
I've been having the same problem and it is most apparent in Teams.
I did roll back my AC1900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router firmware to 100.2 - there was an update in July that was really unstable and dropping 5ghz connections.
That stabilized it until 9/28/2020 and for the past 5 days I've been back to a similar, but not as frequent, issue. I hadn't connected it directly to teams and suspect something is interfering with the wifi signal.
let me know if you find a solution.
as I was typing this I found the "Mobile Hotspot" settings in windows and even though it is "off" I changed it from "Share via wifi" to "Share via Bluetooth" as a precaution.

ericsnell I ended up switching from a 2016 Dell XPS 13 which severely had the problem, to a 2015 Dell XPS 15 (hey, it was laying around) and I didn't have the problem. The XPS 15 had to go back, so I bought a Dell XPS 17 last week. So far just the typical wifi issues. My Killer wifi app is saying my access point is old and I should replace it. I bought it in 2019, so yeah.

Bear7609 Turned out not to be teams at all - it is either the NIC driver on my Laptop or the 5ghz band on the router - I turned off 5ghz band on the Nic on my laptop and everything is stable! - I have to narrow down if it is the router or the laptop. Going to take the router back to 1.0.9.42 per a recommended article and then turn 5ghz back on and see what happens.
