Hello Jessey,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and providing us with the detailed description about the issue.
As per the description, I understand that you are experiencing issue with WiFi keeps on disconnecting while watching YouTube on the system.
I certainly understand your concern and will try my best to help you.
In order to understand the issue more clearly, I would request you to kindly provide me with the following information.
- Is this issue specific only while watching YouTube on the system?
- Are you getting any error message? If yes, what is the exact error message along with the error code?
- Did you make any specific changes on the system?
This issue might have caused due to the following reasons.
- Network drivers might have gone corrupt or missing or maybe they are incompatible in the system.
- Updates are missing in the system.
- Wireless network adapter switch is not enabled in the system.
- There is a possibility that the network connection settings are not correct in the system.
I would suggest you to follow the methods and check if it resolves the issue.

or “Server is not available,” you have the option of using the Network troubleshooter to identify the problem.
If the issue still persists, please follow method 2.
