I've been having issues with the internet connection on my main desktop PC - at random times throughout the day, speeds will slow down to basically zero, if I'm lucky getting up to around 1mb/s, compared to roughly 20mb/s when running properly.
It's only for this computer as well, I've checked both my laptop and my phone, and they've still had great connection speeds at the same time my main PC can't even load a single image. I'm also certain it's not traffic related as this will even happen at 2am and any other time of day or night, again, seemingly randomly.
Drivers for my network adapter are up to date, and I've already performed anti-virus and anti-malware scans
Adapter: (TP-Link TL-WN823N Mini Wireless N300 USB Adapter)
I'm suspicious it might just be a poor quality product, but the connection works as it should about 70% of the time, rather than 0% of the time, and it has reasonably decent reviews, so I'm not certain it's the problem, if I was I'd just buy another adapter and I wouldn't be here
I'd really appreciate some suggestions to help nail down what's causing it, as it makes both gaming and study frustrating endeavours.
Thanks in advance
