Internet access slows to a crawl after 3 days
This is driving me crazy! Both my Firefox and my Chrome browser slow down significantly after about 3 days of computer usage. With Firefox the slowdown is much more noticeable with web pages taking forever to load. Chrome is not as bad but definitely slower at web page loading. If I reboot the computer internet access is lightning quick but once again slows to a crawl after 3 days. I have a wired connection to my network so this is not a WIFI issue These are the steps I have tried:
- Deleting temporary internet files, clearing history
- Releasing and renewing my ip address, flushing my DNS cache
- Rebooting the router
- disabling and then re enabling my network card
- Resetting Firefox, disabling all extensions, staring Firefox in safe mode etc
- disabling my anti virus software
- disconnecting from the network and then reconnecting
NOTHING seems to work.
Speedtest on Firefox shows Ping of 12ms, 220 down and 20 up right after a reboot. After a couple days it shows Ping of 250ms, 200 down, 15 up. The increase in Ping time is huge. After about the third day Firefox cant even run the Speedtest. I get a "Latency Error". Chrome is usable but still much slower than after a reboot.
Does anyone have any ideas?
