**Tl;dr** I have my ISP coming out tonight, and I want them to focus on everything OUTSIDE of the home (I fully expect them to find nothing as is my previous history). Speeds will go from 300-500 to <6 down out of no where. Everything on my end is completely up to date and capable. What I'd like...

I plan on saving all of my files/documents on another device. So I want to perform a like new clean install. Is my best option to "Reset this PC" under the "Recovery" tab of the Control Panel? On a separate USB I plan on creating Windows 10 installation media, do I have to format the USB in...

I've completely reset the router :( nothing still slow

So the IP address link you're providing is requiring a user/pass Yeah it may be the router... but its firmware and all is up to date Potentially? I have no idea what to do then. Yeah its just my wife and myself on the network via wifi

s o upon power cycling the router the first speed test I got (ethernet) was 130Mbps, immediately following that 60, now 37.5 (these are all back to back to back). After typing this the speed test was 180Mbps, right after that it shot up to 300 and then each second it just fell and fell and fell...

This is very odd but I was having internet issues a few weeks ago out of no where that seemingly resolved on their own. Right now I'm getting incredibly slow speeds both via ethernet (literally 1down) and wifi (roughly 5 down). If I power cycle my router, computer, modem I usually get about...

To be honest a lot of this is over my head. I purchased separate modem and router. I don't actually own an xbox, im playing xbox games pass over Windows 10, its all on my PC. However, I can't connect to friends and I've tried everything under the moon twice as far as trying to fix this issue...

I have no clue how to do this and all of the results google yields are old it seems. I need to portforward specifically for xbox games pass on Windows. Apparently I need the 3074 ports? And I'm hitting dead ends. I'm at the screen to add a new virtual server (or port I assume) and its asking...

I appreciate the advice, I'm very keen on monitoring system temps and they are all baseline

I've actually since changed ISPs completely. Those MORONS put some type of filter on my line and completely ruined my speeds at the box. After the FOURTH person came out I walked around with them to see what they were actually "doing" and he found the filter right away. I forget what he called...

I am finding that when I reboot my computer I will get an increase in speeds for a very short amount of time and then I'm back to a crawl. I am now connected directly into the modem, first speed test was ~150 down and now 3min later I'm back at 4 down. Earlier I was checking speeds on my phone...

I went from ~400 Megabits per second to ~5. I'm pulling my hair out. My ISP is WOW (Wide Open West) of course there is nothing on their end, no outages, no help offered. I have reset both my modem and router several times. The only thing that has changed recently was me updating Windows 10 (I...

I have WoW (Wide open west I think its called). Is there any difference in speed for a PCI-E vs USB that you know of? Clearly the USB would be easier to utilize.

Its a standard mid-tower build my specs should be viewable in my signature (I hope) Is a USB or PCI card better than the other? For example if I get better speeds etc with one over the other I'd like to go with the better option.

My desktop PC has always been hard-wired to the internet via ethernet, however due to renovations I'm being forced to change locations within the home. I'm curious as to how exactly I can get WiFi on my PC and what needs to be purchased? Ideally something off of Amazon would be greatly...
