I have a gaming pc with windows 8.1 on it nad have my pc connected directly yo th router but the last few days the internet has dropped to limited for about 15 mins each time but now its constanly limited. Ive tried restarting router, using my wifi dongle. When i go into Windows Diagnostics the problems found are "There might be a problem withe the driver for the Ethernet adapter" and "There might be a problem with the driver for the Wifi adapter" when i try to repair them its keeps saying not fixed. Any suggestions on what it could be or how i could fix it? I also used my iphone
as a hot spot and still had the same outcome.

Download the latest drivers for both wifi and ethernet for your desktop computer.
Uninstall both old wifi and ethernet drivers.
Install one driver at a time. first ethernet and try that out, if that works, then install the wifi.
Try using a spare ethernet cable, try a different ethernet port, and update your router's firmware.
