I have a strange problem that I cannot figure out.
After a day or or two my network slows right down from 64Mbps to around 3Mbps, restarting the router only gives it a boost up to around 5Mbps but the only way I know how fix the speed problem is by restarting my pc and then after the restart its back up to around 64Mbps again.
Also I knotice when its going slow that sound coming from the speakers is robotic and my computer goes sluggish even tho the RAM and CPU usage is low.
I have tried resolving without a pc restart by using flushdns and release/renew and that dosent speed things up.
Why and how does restarting my pc fix this? Shouldnt a simple restart of the router be enough as that is the device that is handling allthe packets
PC Specs
OS: Win 10 Pro
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770
RAM: 8gb
Antivirus & Firewall: Bitdefender Total Security 2016
Connection type: Ethernet $ only two other people using it with their phones only
Normal connection speed when running fine: 60Mbps
Connection speed when problem exists: 1 - 3Mbps
When the network is slow I even stop my torrents and it still continues.
Last time it happened (2 hours ago) my CPU was at 27% and RAM was at 20%

1Could you add your OS to the post as it could be a Factor in the Answer. – NetworkKingPin – 2016-05-03T10:12:23.677
What background programs are you running, eg: torrents, audio/video streaming? What OS and PC are you using? – Burgi – 2016-05-03T10:12:36.003

What about network utilization during these slowdowns (you can see it in the task manager on the performance tab)? – Burgi – 2016-05-03T10:26:42.497
thats a good idea il have a look next time it happens – AnonDCX – 2016-05-03T10:29:33.233

Also what is your total speed of the connection. And are you the only one using it? – NetworkKingPin – 2016-05-03T11:38:56.160
