Anyone notice a network bandwidth/performance drop with 1803?

Ty everyone else for looking into it. Networking isn’t my thing beyond a very basic level so much of what your saying is foreign.

Easy enough to ascertain that the problem likely isn’t due to windows itself. I highly doubt my netgear smart/managed switch is taking a dump either.

What’s absurd is how the tech was able to get full speed connecting to it hardwired yet when I bypassed and connected direct it still didn’t work.

At one point yesterday, chrome gave horrible speeds but incognito mode was much closer to what it should be. Now it doesn’t matter.

Edge was the same. Now it doesn’t matter.

I assumed it was a chrome issue so reset it to defaults and removed extensions without fruition.

FWIW when I’m speaking of speeds I’m speaking of Speedtest.net and/or the Speedtest app. Wide open west (my isp) also has its own Speedtest which results are the same (bad).

I don’t know where to go from here. I’ve done everything I know to up to this point but things are now foreign. Part of me wants to assume it’s on their end since it just popped up. Unfortunately the tech said and showed me it was fine. Signal and literally on his pc.

I go back upstairs after he leaves, run it and end up with 290/35 of a 1000/50. Frustrating!

Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

as of 530am

it spikes up relatively high at the beginning then just goes lower and lower and lower before it tapers off. /sadface

All good here.

just tried in a linux and mac vm and got good speeds. Hrm. leading me back to it being a browser issue or windows issue. how could a specific browser impact download speeds relative to any other? Or is it more likely its something to do w/ windows itself? QoS? Even though i never messed with it ive heard people have issues at times.At a loss.
