For starters I'm a little bit of a novice when it comes to internet things but I can work my way around a computer pretty efficiently
I've suddenly started experiencing issues with the internet connection on one of my ethernet-connected PCs.
I have a Verizon 1000 MB/s router and there are two PCs connected via ethernet to it. Using the google internet speed test I hit 800 mb/s download and 400 mb/s upload on my working PC. The other one is incredibly volatile. Usually it will show 800 mb/s download and 0.08 mb/s upload, but occasionally the download speed will drop down to around 100 mb/s. With this internet issue , Youtube videos will either not load, or take a long time. When they do load, they are usually in the lowest quality unless I set it manually each time, but the video will then start buffering for a long time. I've had some connectivity issues in Discord as well, with random disconnects and laggy call audio.
What I've tried:
I've restarted my PC, and router numerous times.
I've switched out the ethernet cable, and switched ethernet ports on my router.
I've ran the network diagnostic tools (No problems reported).
I've scanned for viruses.
Network usage in task manager is around 0.1%
I've followed all the steps in this guide: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/slow-ethernet-speed-on-windows
Including:
I've changed DNS servers from the Verizon to the Cloudflare servers.
I've disabled Large Sendoff Load (IPv4 V2 and IPv6 V2)
I Did all of the command prompt things it recommended.
Tried to update drivers, but Windows said they were already up to date.
Note that another PC connected to the same router via ethernet has no issues
*WiFi seems to be working completely fine as well, but this PC does not contain a WiFi card.
This issue has emerged from seemingly nowhere
What can I do to fix this? My next best option as of right now is to factory reset the PC, but I have terabytes of games installed and I really don't feel like having to reinstall them, especially if the internet issues persist.
PC Specs:
ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor, 3400 Mhz 6 Cores
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
Microsoft Windows 10 Home Version: 10.0.19044 Build 19044.1645
32 GB Ram (1200 MHz)
Thank you
