Im using a Realtek RTL8188CU USB Wireless adapter.
I cant get my downloadspeed above 200 kbps, it just slowly dropped. It goes up by maybe 20KBps if I plug it into a usb3.0 port, while before it could go up by hundreds, but then it just continues to drop. My service provider is 25 MBps dls but ive never gotten anywhere above 1.3mbps on any ove my devices.\

On steam my download peak is usually ~550kbps, and on google chrome it is ~20kbps
I am using an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 mobo with an EVGA 750W PSU.

You're using WiFi, the speed will vary consistently, and you'll be lucky if it hits 25mbps. Best to hardwire right into modem or router. If you can't do that, try changing your wireless channel on your router or limiting any devices that may cause interference with your WiFi.
