So I was browsing around on the internet, and then my internet just gets "limited" and cuts me off.
I reconnected, same thing again. I restarted, reconnected and then it let me browse for around 5 minutes AND IT CUTS ME OFF AGAIN! I reconnect, spend some time, AND IT CUTS ME OFF YET AGAIN! I had some random problems too, like "Can't connect to this network" and I restarted, reconnected and it worked. but now it happened again and even after a restart it still just says "Can't connect to network".
ANY help would be GREAT.
EDIT: I noticed that there was a suspicious network on my list. Once, my network died, and windows was unable to see any networks beside mine (dead) and the suspicious one, and only that one remained intact. Has my network (or PC) been hacked?

When was the last time you rebooted your router?
The problem is not the router itself, and I'm sure of it, since it works for every other person connected to my network. But it seems that the problem solved itself, since now everything works perfectly.

There are numerous reason why a router reboot can still solve your problem even when no other devices are seemingly affected. Rebooting a router should always be Step 1 or Step 2 of diagnosing internet connectivity problems.

Totally made me think of this. Haha.
