More Windows 10 networking issues.
I wonder about Windows 10 sometimes. First I had issues with it crashing when I ran IE11. With the folks here's suggestions I've been using Edge. Problem sorta solved with networking. Next I buy a dual band router because the current one in the home is 14 years old, and uncle insists on using it. I get him to agree to let cable company replace modem with modem/router, so he's happy and I run Ethernet to my bedroom/living room moving my router to there, then hardwire Roku and PS3. Things work good for a while, then I get hit with Trojan, after many MANY people here told me Windows Defend and Windows Firewall were "good enough".
So I run out, grab a 2017 version of Kaspersky Internet Suite. Three days after installing it, their "safe wallet" no longer allows me to logon to my bank account unless I turn it off. (Kaspersky still provides safe web so I feel okay with this). Now another few days go by and it's like pulling teeth to connect to the Internet again!
This is VERY frustrating! I work from home, although I guess you could say I'm "lucky" because I'm in between contracts right now, but my daughter still has to do here Khan 7th grade math everyday and video's are taking forever to load. FYI...when either of us work I move laptop into "office" and use a hard wired connection, it's required by companies that offer work from home positions for security issues.
There has to be something going inside Windows. My last work from home job required I used Chrome. While because of a non-disclosure agreement I deleted all their materials but kept the browser. I even tried that and I cannot connect, wired or wirelessly...or if I do, it takes a ridiculously long time for pages to load. Now I have to pray when I hit sent this question will load. After I do that, I'm going to attempt to grab cCleaner and run that. Any other suggestions?
