Windows 10: Internet Issue: My internet gets slower a few minutes after startup

I’m experiencing a rather perplexing issue with my internet connection and would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions. Here’s the problem: every time I start my computer, my internet speed is excellent for the first few minutes On the regular, I average 400mbps. However, shortly thereafter, it dramatically slows down and becomes almost unusable sometimes 100mbps, and sometimes all the way down to 20mbps. All the devices connected to my network work fine though, it is only my computer with this issue.Here’s what I’ve tried so far:Restarting Router/Modem: I’ve done this multiple ti

Progressively Slower Internet

For months I have been trying to understand why my internet connection becomes progressively slower as I use my Dell XPS8700 PC. I seem to have read every "solution" on the internet, and tried most of them, but nothing makes any long-term difference. My
one solid clue is that a restart "cures" the problem (ie normal internet speeds return) but then the same progressive slowing starts all over again. A normal shut down and startup of the PC does not "cure" the problem in the same (temporary) way.

Any suggestions would be more than welcome!

Internet Connectivity Issues

So heres the deal. My brother who is behind the opposite wall of me is having internet issues. The router is here in my room and his internet is plugged into the Linksys E2000 via a wire going from it to an ethernet wall socket going to his room and into his computer.

He has been having iffy internet for the past 2 days. Fixed it yesterday by rebooting now the problem has resurfaced.

What we have tried:

• Testing the ethernet cables with a tester. Passed
• Tested onboard ethernet with known working cable (computer hooked up using my connections in my room) Passed
• Checked to make sure there was no static IP address in IPv4 settings. Passed
• Made sure the Network Connection wasnt full on disabled. Passed
• Swapped the cable leading from the router to the wall outlet in my room. Passed and worked for a few minutes.

With regards to that last bullet point, the computer is no longer getting internet again despite working for a few minutes. Testing the new cable again, tells us that pins 1 and 2 are "open". That is the second cable in a row that the tester is spitting this message out on.

Any ideas guys? Im out of them.
