Sudden Internet Speed Drop
Hello. About 3 weeks ago I noticed I was getting between 40-60mb download, when my ISP package says 200mb. I was previously getting the full 200mb and then some. Technicians from my ISP came out, ran new cabling through the house and out to the pole, then tested it at the pole, at the box on the side of the house and inside at the cable end. They consistently got 200mb+. When connected directly to the cable modem on my desktop however, I consistently get only 40-60mb (mostly 60mb)
Nothing has changed on my Windows 10 Pro 64bit computer, except possibly Windows Updates. I have installed nothing, ran nothing, I know everyone I get emails from and have clicked nothing. I am an old fart and do not browse "those" sites. I play a single game on here "ARK".
Here is the kicker: This speed is on all 3 computers in the room....but not my Roku boxes.
I think it is a Windows Update that caused the issue.
I have reset my adapter, grabbed the most current drivers from Dell (It's an Alienware), grabbed the most current router (ASUS RT-N56U) firmware. I have disabled Windows Firewall and Defender, and have no other protection on here.
I watched the techs tests, they was no hanky-panky on their part.
I have troubleshot this until I am at my wit's end.
PLEASE HELP?
I would appreciate no comments about returning to Windows 7, I like 10 just fine, and no comments about the Alienware, I got lazy and didn't want to build one.
Thank you for any constructive replies and attempts at a fix, in advance.
