Hello, Josh here

For the last few days I've been noticing that my loading times on the internet were getting progressively slower and slower and my download speeds were reduced below 500 KB/s on google chrome and steam. Today, my internet has been so bad that it can't even connect to google or any other site on the internet. I pinged google.com.au using cmd and my ping ranged from 500 to over 1000.... sometimes reaching 3000. The internet connection kept on disconnecting from time to time.

Now I basically can't do anything on the internet... I'm on a wireless network by the way. I can't even ping sites anymore and most of the times my network would be known as unidentified network and with no internet connection (Sometimes it would have internet connection yet I still couldn't connect to any sites on the internet.

For those who are thinking that it's probably a problem with my modem, I am getting perfectly fine connection on this laptop and basically any other devices in my house. It's only my computer that is having trouble connecting to the internet. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my network adapters, disabling my antivirus, restarting my modem and more... nothing works. I troubleshooted the network and it said that the default gateway was not available and my wireless network connection didn't have a valid ip configuration. When I enter ipconfig in cmd, it comes up with: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

I've been dealing with these issues for the whole day and it is driving me insane! So I decided to seek some professional help. I was thinking about removing my wireless adapter and replacing it with powerline adapters.
