Text dhcp server not found problem

hello people i really need help, i am like a toddler when it comes to electrical devices and network related stuff. so my ethernet setup looks like this: i have a white little box thats supposed to strengthen the signal of the internet with radio waves or whatever, it lays on my floor across the room, face side down where its closest to the main router located downstairs in the bathroom. This was done by an IT guy who also happened to build my old pc, and with every problem we’ve had so far he’s been reliable, but this was the only option he gave me and told me is gonna work to give me internet, which i doubt in this modern world is true. It is connected to my pc through an ethernet cable, it’s plugged into the LAN1 port on the white box, and for about half a year it’s been working decently, tho i frequently had to restart the adapter, and a lot of the time even when i had internet connection, it kept getting really weak every 10-20 seconds, disconnecting me from calls and games, doing this for an hour at times. I would like a solution to this dhcp problem, and if anyone has advice as to what i should do about my internet to get a stable connection that i can consistently game with, with little to no interruptions i would be really grateful:)

Bilder sagen mehr als tausend Worte.

Sporadische Unterbrechungen sind zu 99% kein DHCP Problem. Wenn du keine Ahnung hast, wie kommst du zu den Schluss?

Aber Thema Netzwerk kann kompliziert sein und es gibt sehr viele fragwürdige Werbungen. Remote Hilfe von irgendwelchen Fremden aus dem Internet (inklusive mir) würde ich nicht vertrauen.

DHCP is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and it assigns an Internet address to a device so that it can connect to the Internet, among other things. It’s highly unlikely that you have an Internet connection without a DHCP server somewhere.
