Windows 10: My computer broke itself overnight??? (Network Adapters)

I can't connect to the internet on my computer anymore (using my phone). I tried everything I could find online like messing around with a few commands in command prompt, deleting network devices from Device Managers and scanning hardware changes. The only adapter present are the Bluetooth Network

Nothing's been able to fix it, I'd really really appreciate any suggestions because I'm willing to try anything so I can fix this quicky and go back to editing.

Network speeds drastically reduced overnight.


Issue:Overnight my download speeds have dropped drastically on this PC. Other devices show typical speeds of 65 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. This PC is showing roughly 5-7 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up on 5 GHz network and around 25 down and 10 up on my 2.4 GHz network. This is consistent over multiple tests and browsers of course.

Info:

• Windows 10-1511 Build 10586.164
• No firewall/AV enabled (Windows Defender disabled in GPEdit.)
• Linksys WMP600N Wireless adapter (802.11 b/g/n Dual band).
• D-Link DIR-850L router (802.11b/g/n/ac Dual band).

What I've tried/checked so far:

• Malwarebytes turns up nothing on full system scan.
• Task Manager / Resource Monitor shows nothing is using network out of the ordinary.
• Tried 4 different WLAN driver versions with the same results no matter which is installed.
• Ran TCP/IP stack reset (netsh i i r r).
• Reset winsocks (netsh winsock reset).
• Flushed DNS.
• Restarted PC.
• Powercycled router/modem.

Attempting Ethernet would be extremely challenging and I'm 99% certain this is specific to the WLAN adapter. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
