Hello everyone, I have a laptop that was using Windows 7, and everything was going smoothly till it stopped working way too slow. I'd try to open website and it'd take like 15 seconds to open. I thought it was weird. We have a second laptop and it was working great. I tried to troubleshoot the driver with no luck. I tried a few things like "sfc /scannow", but still nothing.
I'd open CMD, ping google.gr and get results like 70-90ms. As soon as I opened firefox and tried to open google.gr, I'd ping again I had between 500-3000ms, and timeouts. I decided to update it to Windows 10, might see some improvements. Unfortunately, no luck. Now it's even worse actually. I reinstalled the network driver (windows 7 version on 10 tho, there was no windows 10 driver on lenovo's website.), restarted the laptop, and managed to ping google once with 78ms, but the 3 next requests timed out. I tried another ping, all 4 requests timed out. I tried another ping.. google.gr is unreachable. If I connect it with ethernet it works fine. I assume the network card is toasted or something. What do you think? In the meanwhile I will try to find a windows 10 version of that driver. Thanks for reading.

Weeell, apparently my router's QoS settings was messing up with the net. I disabled it, everything back to normal. I can't believe I spent all those hours on the laptop but it was just a dumb router option that doesn't even work as it should lol. Thanks for the feedback though!
