A lot of times my internet browsers will slow down dramatically. Someone told me to hard reset my router, clear cookies and cache, and run netsh winsock reset as administrator on cmd. I do that and it fixes it. After a few weeks it goes slow again.

Is there any permanent solution to this slowdown?

Since you do SO MANY things at once, there is no way to know which of them is the root cause. You will have to try them one at a time until you determine which of them have an impact. Start with the least impact, clear cache. Then clear cookies. Then router reset. Then winsock reset. Allow a day or more between steps to determine what the impact (if any) is.

Well I just fixed it again today and I didn't clear the cache or cookies. I'd have to wait a while to see whether the cmd command or router hard reset solved the issue.

start an admin cmd.exe shell or powershell then
run t
netstat -a -b

it will show the states of the winsock connections and the names of the programs that are using the connections.

the connections are a limited resource and there is a 300 second wait before the socket if fully closed.
take a quick look and see if you have a app that is "stupid"

Not really sure what I'm looking for or what you mean by an app being "stupid". Everything said "Listening" or "Established".

sometimes apps connect to its own machine thru a loopback driver ip address 127.0.0.1
it can tie up a lot of winsock connections. or a app might make and break a lot of connections and tie up resources.
