Windows 10: Internet Extremely Slow?

So my internet the last few weeks has been a bit slow. When im downloading updates to certain programs etc... they take forever which rarely if ever happen. It wasn't until earlier I decided to do a speed test on speedtest.net and low and behold... my download mbps is 1.23. The upload mpbs is 1.96. I pay for 10mbps and im pretty certain not long ago, they upped everyone with a 10mbps plan to 20mbps plan. For me 10mbps was more then enough so i never paid more to upgrade it.


I only did the speedtest earlier and did it now again... but im pretty positive this must been the speed the last few weeks as well. Now how do i fix this issue? Do i just unplug my modem/router for a minute and plug it back in to see if the download mbps speed would go back to normal? My modem/router is from the internet company and its a 2 in 1. Its a very old modem router though as I had it for years. All the green lights do seem to blink like normal.


Anyone have tips on what I can do here? I mean if there is damage to the modem/router right since well there is internet even though the speed is ridiculously slow? I have my laptop connected to it via ethernet port. But even if i connect my laptop to the internet via wifi or with my phone to wifi... the speed is still 1.23 mbps.

Is it possible to share internet connection via remote desktop?

RDP is not capable of Internet sharing, so you can't share Internet using RDP with standard applications. There are many way to share Internet from a Windows box to another one. I suggest you to use VPN. You should do following steps:

1. Run VPN Server on your server with unlimited internet access
   
2. Connect to VPN server from your limited computer
