It has been a few weeks since I was able to keep a stable internet connection. Since then, I've not been able to connect to the internet smoothly for no longer than a few minutes at a time (I can connect to the internet just fine with my ipad as well as my itouch). It started when I was downloading something overnight and when I woke up in the morning, the internet became really slow despite having full signal.

I'm really not tech savy, but I have tried some methods from these websites:

And I have scanned with malwarebytes and I even wiped the hard drive and installed a fresh copy of windows 8.1.

I'm currently on windows 8.1 and using to-link n900 adapter and belkin n750 router flashed with a asus firmware.

Any help would be appreciated.

TPLINK is probably scrambling to fix the drivers.....the latest updates from Microsoft on Windows 8.1 has created issues for quite a few hardware/software companies - I have used Synergy virtual keyboard/mouse for years without issue - the latest 8.1 update created problems where the shift key no longer works on the client PC.....so I had to switch to another virtual KVM.....
