Hey guys, so my desktop computer is connected to the router via Ethernet, and it's having some issues recently after being fine in its current state since August. Starting a couple weeks ago or so, certain websites will have difficulty loading, timing out more often than not, although given enough time they will sometimes load. The affected websites remain consistent, but have no correlation to each other or similarities between them -- ranging from my job's portal, to my bank website, to even google or youtube. Couldn't even get onto this website. Meanwhile, other websites load perfectly fine even while those other ones are timing out. However, this faulty internet connection extends to non-browser applications such as Steam, Spotify, Discord, and even game lobbies. I will get dropped and reconnected randomly, despite being able to connect to certain websites during this event. Both browser and application incidents are very frequent throughout the day. My laptop and phone, both connected wirelessly, are working just fine.
I ran a diagnostic test on my Ethernet connection and it reports that everything should be fine, as does my anti-Virus after checking for malware/spyware and such. I've never had this problem before, and I'm not sure what to do. Thank you guys for reading.
