Hello, I am having increasing trouble trying to play online games and browse the web. When I turn on my computer, open chrome(or IE or Firefox) my tabs load, I can start watching YouTube vids and browse servers for BF4, but very quickly I will lose connection to Origin, Steam, Gmail etc. My network map shows full connectivity with an "Excellent" wireless signal strength and my Xbox 360 and smartphone have no connection problems at all. For about 4 months I had no problems whatsoever, since february I started having the occasional slow connection day and now it it more often than not.

I just built this computer and I am at wits end. Please help and I thank you greatly in advance!
