Slow Internet

I have been having some internet issues latety. My internet isn't at its usual speed. For the last week or so my internet speed has been cut in half, maybe even more. And now, I can't even watch youtube video's on 1080p 60fps anymore. Before I could play an internet intensive game, stream, watch a video, talk to my friends and listen to music at the same time. Now I can't even watch a video, or play a game without it lagging. I have a WiFi adapter, not cable. I have tried a few things like taking the adapter out and plugging it back in, reset internet in the settings and use the troubleshooter. I realized it was so slow after downloading an overwatch update. It was at 3 MB/s, I played an offline game to wait for it to download and when i looked at it again it had dropped to 500 KB/s. If there is anyone that can help me, please respond. I will send any info you might need. And on task manager it says 1-2%.

Im gonna say that it could be wifi interference. 

 

Try running the tests over a wired connection and let me know if that fixes it.

There isn't a problem with the router. The problem is somewhere in my PC, because other devices haven't been affected.

Yeah, I would still say try with a wire and if its normal then its the wifi card you have needs to be changed.

Try unplugging the computer and monitor and bringing it closer to the router?  Grab a table to set it on and test from there. I've dont that a few times and just carried my setup up to the router to test different things.
