since I've installed the Spotify client on my linux machine, I always get network timeouts when using it. I have tried several versions of the client but it doesn't seem to help.
What I'm currently using:
- OS: Kubuntu 21.04
- Spotify version: 1:1.1.55.498.gf9a83c60
Here is a ping output:

It's always just short timeouts, but at random times. I cannot ping anything except localhost and also cannot get pinged from other devices. I have also tried installing the client in a vm with the same OS I have installed and there I don't have any issues.
So is there a way I can debug what exactly the issue is or do I have to completely reinstall my OS?
Edit: I switched to using 2.4 GHz instead of 5 GHz and now it seems to work without timeouts, but I will keep an eye on it.
Edit2: I changed WiFi settings on my router, it works now without any issues.
