When internet disconnects for a second, some sites don't reconnect for a while (Wina and GG)

Ok so I'm grinding on many lobbies and my internet disconnects for a second, all sites freeze and automatically reconnect after sometime like 5-10s but only two of them (GG and Winamax) take longer.
GG at least reconnects after a few more seconds, sometimes I have to restart the client but it'll be fine in no more than, let's say, 1 minute. I still lose some hands cuz I sit out at all the tables but is not the worst.
But with Winamax is completely different, sometimes it'll take up to 10 minutes to reconnect. During this time not only the client can't connect but the website too (I found out about this trying to re-download the client while it was down and winamax.es was not loading on the web browser).
Of course I try everything like closing and re-opening the client, changing to a mobile hotspot connection and sometime even restrating the laptop which means losing time banks and being sit out everywhere which you can imagine is very ****ing annoying.
I been on this airbnb for about 2 months and the first month it was all good, never had any issue, but on the second month I left the laptop on for a couple hours and when I came back to it internet was gone. Well, not internet per se but the connection to the wifi network of the house was not working on the laptop: the network would connect to my phone, and I could connect with my laptop to my mobile data via hotspot, it was just my laptop not connecting to the wifi network.
After googling the **** out of the issue found some fix by doing some weird **** with regedit and changing the DNS v4 stuff to something like 8.8.8.8, etc.
I'm pretty sure that there's something weird going on with that but I'm not entirely sure what or how to fix it.
Hope someone can help cuz this is becoming pretty ****ing annoying and I'm considering quitting winamax until I move to a new place because today I was on a FT and couldn't reconnect for ages and got back just in time to see my 0.1bb stack bust with 73o, imagine the tilt.
But even if I move to a new place this could be a problem with my laptop, network adapter or something not related to the ISP so yea.
Thanks in advance for your help

Do you have the capacity to restart your network router? You might find that helps to fix the problem - turn it off and on again (while you are not playing!) and see if that improves things.
