Please provide a logfile from a live streaming session, and we can take a look.

1) Restart OBS
2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Copy the URL and paste it here.

so my internet upload is 25mbt/secon.. and it wont work with 5000 https://obsproject.com/logs/O-wflraSrCbXvWIH

I would suggest getting an Ethernet cable, and hardwire your laptop to the router.. WiFi streaming is rarely gonna work stably..

According to that logfile:

01:57:09.255: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Interface: Killer Wireless-n/a/ac 1535 Wireless Network Adapter (802.11, 173 mbps)

you're connected over wifi, not a network cable. You may need to change the priority-order of your network adapters, to prefer the cabled connection when it is available.

It's definitely a network bandwidth issue though:

02:06:45.610: Output 'simple_stream': Number of dropped frames due to insufficient bandwidth/connection stalls: 1325 (64.7%)

The connection going over wifi at the moment definitely could contribute to that.

Also, Killer NICs are well-known in general to be a problem; if your wired connection is also a Killer unit (or really just in general, as it could be affected by the wifi adapter as well), it'd be best to follow the following:

Killer's Firewall is known for it's poor performance and issues when trying to stream. Please download the driver only package from http://support.killernetworking.com/software/, completely uninstall all Killer NIC items and install their Driver only package.
