As of a couple of days ago, my internet started acting up, in a bizzare way. When I say birzzare, I mean that any browser works compleatly fine, downloads with the usual speeds of a whopping 8mbit/s, but apps and games, will litterally be almost unusable due to high ping/latency. The programs I’ve experienced problems with are Skype, CS:GO , League of Legends, and a couple of Steam games. Pretty much all online games and apps. I’ve checked both the router, changed the internet cable, heck I even changed internet provider in my confusion. I also checked if the network card was running half duplex, but that wasn’t the case. Not too long ago, I installed a new Synology NAS which worked flawlessly on the current connection, but to be able to use it I had to get hold of a small switch, which I had no problems with whatsoever. The point of the switch story is, that when I now unplug the switch and pull the cable directly from the router to my pc, the LEDs turn red/amber, where before when it was taken through the switch, the LEDs were green. I don’t know if this means anything, but I found it concerning to say atleast.
Am I gonna need a new MOBO? Or is it a software thing?
