Network drops out when running mining software

Hi,

I have a usb wi-fi dongle plugged into my asus prime A with 5 x MSI Gaming X running on one rig and another wifi dongle , asus prime-A with 3 x MSI gaming x on another

The issue I’m having is that as soon as I run the EWBF or any other miner the dongle drops out, I am unable to ping 8.8.8.8 ( it drops out the exact second the miner tries to connect to a pool)

Strange thing it was working fine yesterday but my GPU was causing issues and kept stopping or losing connection to the pool

I have 2 mining rigs both doing the same thing but the problem occurred within hours of each other (one was working fine whilst the other had this issue)

I can mine from my laptop fine without the network dropping out so I don't believe it is a network issue.

My rigs are running win10 home and win10 pro

Tcp/ip settings look fine, hosts file looks correct

Any ideas?
