randomuserguy Posted May 28 ID:1639468 Share Posted May 28 Basically my wifi sometimes works at full speeds, other times it will be extremely slow. I thought maybe the area is just busy and ISP is limiting my wifi...nope. All other devices test correctly. (I should get between 500-800 mbps) My network drivers are all up to date, so its not that either...I know Windows 10 has network issues, so I upgraded to Windows 11...still having the same issues. I tried installing Malwarebytes, it got stuck at 19% and after a while the installation failed...I've unfortunately had to do this with you guys before so I already ran MBST and got a grab results zip file for you guys. Thanks for the help in advance. Also may be worth noting, sometimes the wifi works perfectly fine on this device as well, its quite strange. mbst-grab-results.zip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomuserguy Posted May 29 Author ID:1639473 Share Posted May 29 Also before running MBST I disabled fast start and allowed hidden files and file extensions to be viewed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please try this: 1. Download the offline installer from: https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb5_offline 2. Run the installer Can you please let me know if that worked?

randomuserguy Posted May 29 Author ID:1639493 Share Posted May 29 That did work @Porthos. I'll run a scan, but do you have any idea what the wifi thing could be about? Is there any known malware that does what I'm describing or is my issue something else? because my pc runs pretty good other than the random wifi issues...

I can't assist with identifying or removing malware "If" present on the computer. I just wanted you to get Malwarebytes installed. Be patient for the next expert to take your case.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 29 Root Admin ID:1639571 Share Posted May 29 Good day @randomuserguy It's almost 2 AM for me so I'm heading out but will check back with you tomorrow. Please run the following Please download and run the following Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020 and save it to your Desktop. (Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool version 20.0.10.0 was released on November 9, 2021) Download: Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool https://devbuilds.s.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/KVRT/latest/full/KVRT.exe How to run a scan with Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020 https://support.kaspersky.com/15674 How to run Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020 in the advanced mode https://support.kaspersky.com/15680 How to restore a file removed during Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020 scan https://support.kaspersky.com/15681 Select the Windows Key and R Key together, the "Run" box should open. Drag and Drop KVRT.exe into the Run Box.

randomuserguy Posted May 29 Author ID:1639643 Share Posted May 29 Well, good news and bad news lol. Good news is no virus was found with KVRT or Malwarebytes (I did a full scan after Porthos helped me get it installed last night). Bad news for me is that I have no clue what's up with the inconsistencies of my wifi. @AdvancedSetup report_2024.05.29_10.25.06.klr.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomuserguy Posted May 29 Author ID:1639652 Share Posted May 29 This person has a similar issue as me, and in the post the person who was helping him mentioned CCleaners "dangerous registry cleaner". I did use that in the past, but have since reset my PC, so that couldn't be the issue right? Heres a link to the post. To clarify I'm not actually doing anything until instructed, I'm just researching for potential answers to my issue. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/slow-wifi-only-on-this-computer-fixes-temporarily/2bff61f2-e7ca-4b30-b12c-37db5f38d09c Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 29 Root Admin ID:1639681 Share Posted May 29 No, should have no connection to your issue. If you own your own router and are not renting it from your Internet Service Provider Please ensure that you have the user manual for your router. Then perform a factory reset. How To Reset Your Router https://setuprouter.com/networking/how-to-reset-your-router/ Depending on one's preferences and the Router's capabilities please consider the following. Disable acceptance of ICMP Pings Change the Default Router password using a Strong Password Use a Strong WiFi password on WPA2 using AES encryption or Enable WPA3 if it is an option. Disable Remote Management Create separate WiFi networks for groups of devices with similar purposes to prevent an entire network of devices from being compromised if a malicious actor is able to gain unauthorized access to one device or network. Example: Keep IoT devices on one network and mobile devices on another. Change the network name (SSID). Do not use your; Name, Postal address or other personal information. Make it unique or whimsical and known to your family/group. Is the Router Firmware up-to-date ? Updating the firmware mitigates exploitable vulnerabilities. Specifically set Firewall rules to BLOCK; TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139, 445, 1234, 3389, 5555 and 9034 Many Routers support Saving and Restoring settings from a file. It is suggested to make a backup by saving your Router's settings once it has been configured. Document passwords created and store them in a safe but accessible location.
