Hello,
So the other day my laptop's wireless internet connection stopped working.
Other devices in my household are unaffected, including a desktop with a wireless connection, my phone, and a Playstation 3.
It tells me my internet is connected but it's incredibly slow and gives me DNS errors or time out errors, although sometimes I can connect to google but just barely.
I tried to use a USB Wireless Connection over the wireless adapter with no success. I have ensured my wireless network drivers are up to date. An ethernet cable works and I can connect when hardwired.
I have tried ipconfig release/renew and dnsflush/dnsregister.
My IPV4 and IPV6 are set to automatically connect.
I have reinstalled driver software for my wireless adapter.
Every time I ping my router, I get between 25%-100% packet loss, and consistently get 100% packet loss when pinging google and the like.
I thought it was a hardware issue until I used the Wireless USB device and it had no better effect.
At this point I suspect it's a firewall issue.
I've run a scan with malwarebytes and Kaspersky but neither turned up anything at all, not to rule out that it might be a virus or malware but just to indicate I've thought of that, too.
I run a Windows 8.1, Intel i5. If I need to include any other specs please let me know.
Attached is a tracert I ran on yahoo.
