Hi,
Im on a new Asus ROG G751 gaming notebook running windows 10. My problem is that my WiFi connection seemingly randomly will drop down to 0Kbps send and recive speed, despite our service being for 54 Mbps. It will stay at 0, occasionally bumping up to 8 or 16, and then drop back down. Other times, it's just fine; a few Mbps and i have no problems, but then this happens again.

The strange thing is that, other than loading websites, it seems to be able to do other things on command. Trying to load this forum page, for example, took 10 minutes and Chrome told me the page was unresponsive no less than ten times. However, uploading the screen shots here took under a second. Also, i took an online speed test and it told me i was 20+Mbps up and download, and my task manager said the same thing.

The only thing I can think that would result in such strange behavior is a software problem, either malicious or something more simple. I have updated my wifi drivers but that didn't help. Any advice I can get on the matter would be very much appreciated.
EDIT: My ad block seems to have stopped working as well, making me think i may have downloaded some kind of ad ware, and that it may be clogging my connection as well.

My first thought would be to try a different wireless connection to see if the issue is with your laptop or if the issue might be with your wireless router. If it's possible, you could bypass the wireless on your laptop and connect via ethernet directly to your modem, bypassing your wireless router to see if the issue persists. Though its a different interface, it would tell you if the issue is with the wireless interface/wireless router combo or if it is your computer.
