I apologize in advance if this is not the right sub-forum. I just completed my first build and am encountering some issues with my connection. Upon powering up my new build I installed my drivers/software and was going online to start downloading programs and updating to Windows 10. I was able to get two different wireless cards working effortlessly. I opened a link and began a download, my speed appeared normal but after about 6 megabytes i no longer had any down speed. I can still browse the web, some images dont load properly but it is usable. I tried various downloads multiple times and every time i encountered the same problem. I moved the PC so that i could hardwire it into the modem, that didn't help either. I've tried to Google for a solution, which has led me to CCleaner and running various dns dump/ shell commands. I found an old thread where there were some suggestions to clear cache and delete temp files. They also mentioned that sometimes DSL connections can have a connection strength or frequency that is too high and it will cause a connection to choke out? I don't know how to check those settings. Sorry for the scattered question, but im at an impasse atm. Willing to try anything at this point, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have other devices on the network that are currently working fine?

What ISP/internet provider? and is the modem a combined router/modem?
If this is a new internet service, have you contacted your service provider?

what operating system are you currently on?
What wireless cards and motherboard are you using?

My laptop, phone and other PC are all attached to the network without issue.
It's satellite internet. I'm using wireless router. It is a rather new ISP for me, but im not having issues with other devices.
I'm using windows 7 64bit home premium.
Motherboard is Gigabyte g1 z170x gaming 7
I've tried both a Linksys usb adapter, TP-LINK PCIE card, as well as hardwiring the connection. I'm encountering the same issue regardless

Same issue. I do have 32gb of ram seated in the mobo, while only 16gb are usable with this OS. That wouldn't be causing an issue like this would it?
