Hello guys. I have bought a new laptop (ASUS F550J) about 3 months ago. On my old laptop on (Acer 5750G), according to speedtest.net I would get like 70 MB/s download and 40 MB/s upload. On the first day I bought my new laptop, with the internet cable plugged in speedtest.net would give kinda the same results as with the old one even though I couldn't download anything with a higher speed that 6MB/s. Did not think much of it because I was getting the same download speed connected thorough the wireless.

Now to get to the problem. For a couple of weeks the internet connection has been going down like two times every half an hour and I would get fluctuating download speed. Bought a new router thinking it would solve the problem. It did for a couple of days but now it got even worse. I can't even open an internet page. Most of the time the results of speedtest.net are simply hilarious ( Gyazo link ). I ran a complete antivirus scan, a complete Malwarebytes scan, I ran over my wireless configuration like 3 times and everything looks all right. The speed also goes up sometimes but never going past 4 MB/s and never for more than a couple of minutes.

It's getting extremely annoying since I can't do almost anything. I would like to know if you have any ideas I might try or if it is simply a hardware problem and should try to repair it since the laptop is still in warranty.

Thank you.
