Before I play another hand…

How do people cut down on disconnects?

Do people hard wire and not play on WiFi?

Is playing on a wireless 5G device a gamble?

Hard wire, no wifi.

Some people do well with one tabling on cell phone, depends on site, and their mobile platform.

Hardwire and use your cell to setup a WIFI hot spot as a backup. Battery backup for your computer (if you are not on a laptop), router, modem too.

Where do you play and from where? I never disconnect too badly. The mobile softwares are not always as good as the PCs, and using a browser instead (with the mobile) can be way better (IDN). I have a top router from a top ISP itself (optimized) and I think that is important, as it has been worse. My mobile's softwares do not Wifi-disconnect badly either (some IDN would). Using the integrated graphics card heats up less (as does under Full HD), and if necessary, increase the fan speed to 7-8 rpm (settings, buy, outer cooler/fan, other), as that is one major cause for lags. Restart your computer, router can also solve lags and other. Top cord, reinstall. The computer's loads, health, numbers.

I've been having a ton of issues with power outages and loss of connection in my area. Do you tether your phone when playing to create a backup connection? Wondering how long it takes to connect to the mobile network, as I keep timing out of hands etc.

I believe you are looking for something similar to a bonded signal connection. Preferably something like wired cable modem + something cell network based? [Cell card / etc] I'm guessing this will be best for you

Speedify is what you are looking for. I believe that uses a vpn at some point and poker sites might make you get permission before hand if you will use a vpn at all.
