This issue started a few days ago. My PC is connected to the internet via ethernet which goes to a Wifi extender in my room. My PC doesn't have WiFi capabilities and I can't hook directly to the router as it's too far away, but this is the next best thing and it's worked well for me up until this point. So basically my PC shows that it's connected to my network and Windows troubleshooter never detects a problem with it. The problem is that, out of the blue, nothing on my PC will load except for Google and Google apps such as YouTube or Google Docs. All other devices in the house work fine. At first I thought it was an issue with my PC, but after trying for days to fix this, I think I've narrowed the problem down to my extender or my internet.

The first thing I tried was resetting my internet and that didn't seem to change anything. I ran a bunch of troubleshooting on my PC such as resetting DNS and network settings, none of that worked either. I moved the extender to a different outlet across the room and hooked my ethernet cable from the extender to my Xbox to see if it would work. To me it seemed like my speeds were a bit slower, but I could still load games, watch twitch streams, etc. When I moved the extender back to it's original outlet and hooked it back to my PC, nothing loads still. I originally had an AC750 extender, but I ended up buying an AC1200 out of frustration, still the same issue.

Last night on a whim, I tried to connect my phone to the extender's hotspot and right away I noticed a problem. The issues were similar to what I was experiencing on my PC. I could load certain apps and webpages but connection was super slow. Eventually, after about 5 minutes. I lost internet connection all together on the hotspot and was booted back to my main WiFi connection.

This leads me to believe it's an issue with the extenders or the way they are communicating with the internet. Like I said, the extenders have worked fine up until this point. I've had my PC for over a year now running on a Netgear extender and this is the first issue I've had with it. Since it is happening with 2 separate extenders, I really have no clue what the issue could be. If anyone here could help me figure it out, that'd be awesome cus I'm almost at my whits end here. Thank you...
