Can't find any server upon startup.

For the past few days, whenever I would start up my computer, upon reaching the desktop and trying to access the internet (using firefox), it'd immediately say that it cannot connect to any website's server. I've looked in the Task Manager, and the networking tab shows I'm using about 13-15% of my network every time, and it says I have internet access, but, again, cannot reach any server. Any idea what may be happening?

P.s. it stays this way for about 7-15 minutes before finally going away.

I'll say this, I'm not the greatest at changing my internet/router settings, so I'll try my best at anything you guys suggest.

I've actually found out that it's steam doing it after I boot up my computer. It verifies the installation, then my network usage shoots up to ~14% and I'm unable to connect to the internet unless I end the Steam.exe process.
