I have been using this connection for about 2 years now, and for some reason it is slowed down dramatically, and its almost like my computer is lying to me, my computer says I have 5 bar connection but still takes at least 60 seconds to connect to the network and then some pages won't even load or take 5 minutes to load and then I can open another tab and go to different site that loads almost instantly, I have been dealing with this for about a month now and I am sick of it.

I have the Asus G74Sx 64bit, i7-2670 8GB of RAM on Windows 7

This issue occurs in Internet Explorer versions 7 through 11,” Microsoft wrote in it security advisory.

In case you’ve the security updates that are to blame for this...
