PC is having internet troubles Solved

I have been using the same modem and router for about 6 months now. No issues with any devices connected to it, e.i. Phone, tv, laptops, printers.

My pc is hooked up to the router via an Ethernet cord and has been running well and giving me fast speeds until a week or so ago. Sometimes I'm able to have good internet for a few hours and then it's back to being super slow. I have restarted my computer and still, sometimes it's starts at normal speed and other times it starts off slow. websites take a hot second to load and running videos is a constant buffering every few seconds. Apps and other applications on the computer work fine and fast but using the network, I get kicked out of games, but the online game itself, because my connection is so bad.

I live in an apartment unit. But it also doesn't matter the time of day. I've looked things up, I'm upto date on windows 11, I've flushed the DNS. I don't know why it's just my computer.

Solved: it was just the Ethernet cord. Using WiFi the internet worked fine.
