Hello everyone!
I have this peculiar problem I have spent hours trying to solve, with no avail. So guys, please help me - you are my only hope.
The Problem
When I start PC or disconnect and re-connect to my home Wi-Fi, the speed is always as it should be. However, over time (20 seconds to 20 minutes) the speed decreases significantly. I start with 20 Mbits and end up with 2 Mbits... if I am lucky. This makes playing games, comfortable surfing or downloading impossible.
My specs
Windows [Version 10.0.10586]
Motherboard LENOVO - SKYBAY - SDK0J40709 WIN 3259588129374
Processor i5 6600 Intel and PSU 450 W
Wireless should be Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 Wireless Network Adapter and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. (not sure which one, ask for specific info - no idea what you guys need).
Comtrend VR-3026e v2 with latest firmware, O2 telefonica ISP, cable (not sure about specifics as it is the internet in an apartment I have long-term rent in)
Additional info
- All drivers should be up-to-date. Adapter should have manufacturer's driver, not one from Microsoft, unless the last update re-wrote it. I have tried reinstalling them.
- At the moment of testing, only one PC is connected, usually it is 2 PCs and top is 2x PCs, 2 notebooks and 2 cells, but that rarely happens. My goal is 2 PCs to run just fine. The other PC has the same problem (and is exactly the same machine).
- This is NOT an ISP problem. My notebook (also on win 10) does not have this problem.
- I get no errors. When I run troubleshooting, it comes off clean.
- I have reinstalled firmware and rebooted the route (helped for a few minutes)
- Signal strength is great. It runs on 2,4 and channel 1.
- According to Task Manager - Performance - WiFi there is no traffic (few kbs, unimportant).
- No application runs on background (no torrents, no steam downloads, orogin, battlenet...) or at least nothing I could think of. Not even OneNote or OneDrive.
- I have disabled Peer to peer updates, geo location, power-saving on router and power-saving on wireless PC.
- I have tried disabling antivirus (Avast) for some time. Did not help. Same goes for windows firewall. I have disabled windows defender.
- I experience this problems everywhere - steam, gaming, streaming, firefox and chrome...
- WiFi connection type is private network&
If you need to know anything else, I will gladly write it. Mind that I am not an expert user, so please ask plainly.
Thank you for your time - all the help is greatly appreciated, for I am totally out of ideas.
