Have had this problem a year now. I have very fast fiber internet and a netgear wax202 router (AX1800).
Stremio knocks out my internet connection (overloading the router I believe), and I get DNS error and lose all internet connection until restarting the router.
This is not specific to stream sizes, sources, or qualities, nor does it happen right away. It is 100% random, it happens at any given point during any movie or show, for any given number of times. Some days its worse than others, where I have to restart my router 25 times in one day. Other days it happens only once. Again, this is with any source or stream or title or addon. There is no pattern to the streams that cause it.
I have done the Stremio blog recommendation of DNS resolution. My DNS is now 8.8.8.8 / 1.1.1.1. This didn't help.
I have blocked outgoing packages for Stremio from my firewall, as suggested by a redditor. This didn't help.
I have reinstalled Stremio many times over the last year, including to different drives. I've had many windows updates, graphics updates, and router updates in that time. I have wiped all graphics drivers with DDU. The problem never ceased.
I do not have voicemeter banana or any other system-wide audio/video program.
