I have an MSI z370 SLI Plus motherboard with a built-in network card. (let me know if you need any more specs)
Before the issue occurred:
I was going to set up wifi on the PC using a USB wifi adapter, so I installed the software that came in the cd that was in the box and was connected to the internet via wifi. I returned it the next day because I enjoyed my connection speeds over a wired connection more.
When the issue occurred:
The next day I was using my PC with a wired connection and noticed my download speeds were extremely slow (about 40 times slower than the day before on the same wired connection).
Additional Info:
I tested the ethernet cable that I was using on my pc with my MacBook Pro in the same room and get 200+ Mbps download speed and upload speeds 20 or higher.
My pc is currently stuck at around 10-30mbps download and .5mbps upoad speed, which makes my computer pretty useless for work. Optimally, I would like for my computer to be up to the speed it was before I used the wireless USB adapter for a day.
I am unsure if this is a driver issue, ISP issue (I've called Verizon and they say its a PC issue), a virus or malware, or some other type of issue. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Please share your suggestions for fixing this issue, thanks!
