So recently, i've received a new pre-built gaming PC from best buy. It's a beast, and here are the specs.


iBUYPOWER Element:

- i7 6700
- 8x2 XPG ADATA RAM (16 GB)
- GTX 1070 Armored OC
- Windows 10 64-Bit
- Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB 2.0 (Still 10mbps or higher back when I installed a bunch of steam games.)


Now my problem lies in the wifi connection. My ISP is comcast and we dont have that many problems with our connection. I've been doing speedtests on my PC and Phone for 2 weeks and over time, the PC went from the usual 110 MBPS to 5-9 MBPS (current.) My phone receives about 115 MBPS max on speedtest, and i've been so confused as to why.

The first time this happened, the wifi kept disconnecting. I did some windows troubleshooting and it seemed to fix the problem. (Temporarily.)

This kept going on for days and I've never really bothered to take a deep look into it, but with my current situation, I can't play online games without spiking from 27/68 MS to 100, 600, 800, 10,000 MS and absolutely getting destroyed. For now, i'm sticking with single player games and it really sucks. I don't mind it, I just want to be able to play some League and CSGO every now and then without my wifi taking an absolute shite. Can anyone please dear god help me?


Note: This happened after windows update, SUPPOSEDLY. I cannot recall exactly when this happened.

Update: During troubleshoots, often it would say "Default Gateway not available," "IP not configured correctly (or something)" or "Network cable not connect or broken" even though my Network USB Card is blinking rapidly just fine. (Sometimes it would blink a lot less rapidly.) My other devices were working just fine though during those troubleshoots (aka my iPhone on discord, etc.)
