Windows 10: Internet Connect SLOW to connect

Windows 10 Version 20H2. Desktop PC its 6 years old...for sometime it has taken longer to complete Bootup....Desktop displays but Blue circle circles....3 to 5 mins before I can use PC. Of late, the Internet is now also taking longer to connect. It has nothing to do with my Internet service because when I try to open a browser on my desktop and get Site cannot be reached, I use my Phone or my Laptop and the Internet opens fine. The desktop is just now during Bootup taking Longer to make that connection to the Internet....mentioned the desktop takes 3 to 5 Mins to fully complete its Bootup,

Internet connection speeds

I'm really curious about this, considering the amount of hoopla every major internet connection provider likes to claim about their services, and many times exaggerated just to help their own sales . . .

So, with that in mind, anyone willing to post up their download/upload connection speeds, and we can see just how much of a difference there is in the various internet connection types.

Hit up Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test, choose the location closest to your home and begin the test, afterwards, copy and paste your result here. Also, please list what type of connection you have (dial-up, cable, DSL, VDSL, FiOS, etc) - if you are running through an ethernet connection, please also list whether it's a direct connection, or your LAN/WiFi connection speeds.

So, I guess I'lll start:

Verizon standard DSL - D-Link 802.11g 54Mbps

Connecting computer with no internet connection to network printer


@dk1971

1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig
   
   
   
2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
   Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
   NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank
