Huge amount of WiFi traffic until reconnect
Hello guys,
I have a problem with my WiFi which I suspect is either hardware related or some driver issue. I have a computer that is connected via wireless USB adapter. At random times, the network will slow down massively (as in simple HTTP requests will take over 30 seconds until the page is fully loaded). The connection is never lost completely, just slow to the point where Windows says "connected, but no internet access".
During this time, on my router, there is a huge increase in wifi traffic sent from the router (green waves). Being the only client connected, I can rule out other devices which could cause this.
Also, simply disconnecting and reconnecting to the network will reduce the packets sent immediately to the normal level (as seen in the middle of the graphic where I reconnected).
How do I go about finding the root cause of this problem? Anything I should look out for? Packets? It happens randomly with no specific trigger and I'm clueless as to what is going on and why a simple reconnect fixes it.
Any help is appreciated.
