It's late right now so I apologize if I don't reply right away or provide insufficent information and will fix that in the morning.
My pc or rather entire network has been acting extremely weird for a couple weeks now.
Nowadays whenever I have a video or even worse, livestream up and even just open up a new tab and search for anything or worse click on a full-fledged site, it seems like the new tab is completely sucking the bandwidth or blocking the stream until it's done, after which the stream infrequently but in similar intervals buffers for a good second (<--Other site keep alive packets?)
Before, obviously this never happend, I was able to download and watch at the same time while downloading on my phone as well (example of how capable the network was, 100down, 10 or 40 up). Nowadays, if I download and watch a stream simultaniously, the stream won't play at all until I stop the download.
(Weird Buffering) Tonight I was downloading even at 350kb/s @ github, yes 300KB/s on github, and the stream just stopped playing completely, 300kb/s of work should not wreck a gigabit LAN & 100down network. Ever. (Btw download speeds are not broken, steam works @ fullspeed, this was just a bad github mirror?).
Wireshark shows for the multiple sites I tested / opened, packets with all the same SYN Packet but massive amounts of ACKs, as if the site or my pc sends the same package but dozens and dozens of times.
This all started (maybe, not sure) when I changed my router's IPV4 settings from ,200 max ip to ,254, I clicked apply but then realized that one of my smart sevices has .254 static ip and that I should probably not touch this section anyway, what's the point for me/the purpose...., so I changed the number back / clicked reset and kept my fingers away.
I have a pihole which according to the devs is not the culprit (through logs). Also the pihole has worked flawlessly for over a year.
My phone is also now always showing "restricted connection/bad connection", when I connect to my wifi, which has never happend to me before.
