Broken pictures, videos, and downloads
Hello all, I just installed a new modem in my house. Since doing so, my laptop has started acting up. Pictures will load for all of a quarter of a second and then turn into the broken picture icon. Video players like promptfile, putlocker, etc won't appear on screen let alone load the actual videos. I tried downloading firefox to see if it was just chrome acting up, but whether it be on chrome or internet explorer, I get an error message saying that the download failed due to internet connectivity problems. Sometimes the webpage won't even load. I can still use the internet, it's still fast, but nothing shows up. I tried playing minecraft and rise of mythos, but I keep getting server connection problems that kick me out. I've deleted all my cookies and internet caches, I ran AVG and had no flags, I called mediacom and they said it was my laptop, and I've turned everything on and off again. My desktop isn't having any of these problems whatsoever. Before changing modems my laptop worked just fine. I went on my phone and used wifi to view pictures and such as well. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Edit: I've been spending time on damnlol.com, but since I started having this problem, the pictures there keep breaking. I refresh the page, go to the previous picture and then back to the original, and it still breaks every time. It seems, however, when I look at the picture on my desktop and then look at it on my laptop, it will load. I also use tumblr, but practically all of the pictures there are broken and there is no fixing them from what I've tried. When I go on other major websites, everything breaks and gets out of place. Refreshing it doesn't help.
