My laptop that I got a few months ago, an Asus K501UB-DM020T running Windows 10, has in the past month or so generated a problem that when it's on our home network it causes every device on the network to lose the internet connection.
The download speeds can be seen to drop off periodically when this laptop is connected, for example trying to download something through steam I can see my rate start at approx 1Mbit/s, and then drop down into the 10s of kbit/s, then 100s of bit/s, then eventually to 0 (over the space of maybe a minute).
I can then disconnect from the network, reconnect to it, and the connection will be restored, and the download rate jump back up, for a little bit.
What is worst is it affects all other wireless devices on the network; my phone, my partner's laptop, etc, but only happens when my laptop is connected.
Have tried everything up to resetting Windows on my laptop with no avail.
