Hi, I'm here at the recommendation of a friend after spending days trying to figure out what's going on. I don't know much about routers/networking, so please let me know if there is any information I need to post. Here's how things stand:
My connection recently started experiencing fluctuating internet speeds. The issue is wide-spread, but since I'm currently trying to download the new Bioshock DLC, I'll use it as a reference. The download will go as fast as 3.7Mbs down to a crawling few bytes per second and, at times, a complete halt. However, I never lose my connection to the routers, so my initial thought it that it must be an issue with the router. I asked my cousin, whom is using a laptop, and she says that she hasn't been experiencing any issues. After that, I decided that maybe it was my wireless adapater, but I didn't have any issues when I took my pc over to a friend's house to lan. I attempted to use windows troublshooting and it said that my setting are all correct, but the DNS server is not responding.
I have no idea where to go from here and any information/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
