Your problem has nothing to do with flash or anything else on your laptop.

The problem you have is to do with  the TD-W8960N itself .

TheTD-W8960N  is a cheap entry level modem that  only has a NAT size of 
5020 and 64 Mb of Ram and is not good for heavy torrenting or live 
streaming as it overloads the NAT, fills up the Ram  and causes slow 
network problems and at times drop outs in either the wifi or the adsl 
connection.

When you re-boot the modem , it clears the NAT and it is  empty to start 
all over again until the live streaming and other usage fills up the NAT 
again.

The wifi on the TD-W8960N is also somewhat crappy and only single band 
N300 wifi and it also only has 10/100 Ethernet ports on it.

Nothing you do will fix your drop out problem other than either to the 
stop live streaming or get a more powerful modem.

These days , the TD-W8960N is only mainly used as a bridged  modem in a 
separate modem + router set-up  , and at times  used as a standalone 
modem/router all in one combo , by cheap sods that are too cheap to fork 
out any money for a decent modem.

Save yourself all the time and effort and just go out and buy a TP-Link 
Archer D7 with dual band 1750 AC wifi  for $170 , it has a NAT size of 
10200 and 256 Mb of Ram that is more than sufficient to do live 
streaming and heavy internet usage.
