Greetings,

I'm having a problem with my wireless internet connection. Randomly I get extremely slow download speeds around 30 Kbps on most downloads, but I can browse the internet, and even stream websites like youtube totally fine. I'm on a 10 Mbps plan with rogers and with speed test, it is a confirmed 10.8 Mbps. This is where I'm confused. When I download anything its extremely slow. I should be getting much faster downloads?

I a running an Asus RT-N53 dual band router. I am currently connected wifi to my 5ghz band (that only my computer uses) at 300Mbps. It seems the 2.4 Ghz band also has the same slow speed right now. I have an Asus USB N53 on my computer to pair with the router.

I have gone through many of the settings on my router and fiddled for a few hours with no luck.

My computer specs:
Intel Core i5 2500k 3.3ghz @ 4.4 ghz
Asus P8p67 Pro Rev 3.0
Corsair Vengeance 8gb
evga gtx 670ftw
Corsair Hydro H80
Corsair Professional series HX850w
Windows 8.1 Professional, 64bit
Western digital 500gb hdd
Corsair Graphite series 600t Case
Asus VG248QE 24” 144hz 3D Monitor

Anywhere really, For instance I was just trying to update my Nvidia drivers and had a whopping 50 Kbps download! I
