I have to reconnect wifi after download or my internet browser won't work.

If I start a large download it will work fine unless I try to browse the internet. If I do that then the download speed drops to zero and I can't get to any web pages. The only way to fix it is turn off wifi and reconnect. I have Kaspersky antivirus software and the setting on it have not been changed before or after this started. Resetting the router does not help this problem.

    Are you using something like a torrent program? if so try lowering the upload rate when downloading a file.
