I have a broadband connection where i am receiving 40mbps. I have multiple PC's and laptops connected all of which are working fine, all apart from one computer which has become really slow.
Usually on this machine i would receive full speeds of 4.8MB/s download speed using a powerline adapter from my router. Recently, i'm not sure what has changed but i'm only getting 200-500KB/s. My upload speed stays the same, which is fine on all machines. Only the download is affected.
I've tried using a WiFi dongle and the speed seems okay, where i get 1MB/s as opposed to 2MB/s i used to get on WiFi. I've tried using my powerline adapter on a laptop, which then receives full speeds - so that can't be the fault.
Yesterday i restarted my computer while still on LAN and the speeds shot right up, however a few hours later it went back down to 200-500KB/s. My first thought was a background process or application which could be bugged. I removed a lot of processes and start up processes and i'm still receiving low speeds. I've tried updating my ethernet drivers, i have no viruses, no anti-viruses. I feel as if i've exhausted all of my options, any ideas?
Thank you.
