Hey, i have a problem with my pc and it is getting very irritating. Whenever my pc is connected to my router (i use wifi and cannot use wired) it disconnects or causes huge lag on every other device on the network. I can just be at the desktop with no programs open and this still happens? I am pretty sure its something on the pc as if i turn wifi off other devices connection goes back to normal. My connection speed is 38Mb\s or around 4MB/s.
Any help is much appreciated.

maybe a problem with your router ? My old one done that. Allocated all resources to my laptop and everything else lagged. I just got a new router.

That would've made sense, except the computer doesn't do anything either it struggles to open the browser. Which is...kinda gayyyy

Maybe malware ? Using your pc to send millions of secrets emails in the background ? That would use up alot of resources from both pc and router ?

Malware bytes ran and detected some malware bit that hasn't solved that problem unfortunately.

I've got no idea about the router part of the problem. Could be a bad motherboard ? That could maybe cause lagging problems. But also get something like avast. it might not just be malware in your pc. Also, when your pc saying CPU and RAM aren't doing much. how much is your HDD running ? I found i had a faulty HDD when everything was running slow yet my pc wasn't actually doing much to affect ram and cpu performance. One of the was of checking this is when its running slow look at your HDD light. and check how active its being. thats how i noticed the fault with mine.
