Hi guys
So I have a problem: my router is super fast after a restart, but it slows down, and by that I mean I can't really load any webpages, but it can successfully play songs on Spotify (yes, while the problem occurs and in highest quality, no stutters) watch YT videos, and I can even message my friends online, but no picture will load etc. It is also happening to other members of the family, not just me. (both wired and wireless)

Here's a speedtest after a restart: http://imgur.com/a/K7OID

I tried everything, checking the settings etc, clearing caches, changing DNS, using different browsers anything you can think of, there is nothing in the router logs, all connectivity things are OK, the router has the latest official firmware. There is no DD-WRT firmware for this. Please help, I'm desperate.

EDIT: it usually slows down when there is too mayn elements to load. For example: pinterest, deviantart, or even google search. No problem with facebook or tumblr though, but when the problem occurs everything is slow, except streaming. :/ it seems like it can not connect, but can download/upload idk

By "restart" on your router do you mean a "factory reset"? What exactly do you do to achieve the restart and "super fast" speed thereafter. Albeit temporary.....

What level of ISP service are you paying for and what make/model is your router?

How many wired and wireless devices on your network?
