Hey guys,
So I've got a Lenovo laptop (don't have specs right now, not with my laptop), that I've had for about 2 1/2 years. I am currently using Comcast internet with a new xFinity router. I haven't had problems with internet until recently. The internet runs fine on other laptops and my phone (iPhone 6), but on my laptop the internet runs very very poorly. Loading a YouTube video is virtually impossible and surfing the internet is a drag. I ran a speedtest and my download speed spikes to around 11mbs, which is around what it should be, then it drops down to around .5 mbs, which is absolutely pathetic. All my drivers are up to date and I have ran virus scans with Malwarebytes Premium and Windows Defender (I'm running Windows 8.1) and no viruses were found. I haven't connected my laptop directly to ethernet yet, but I will when I get home. However, for the time being, does anyone have any idea what could be the issue?
Thanks,
Wyatt
