For the past ~6 months, I've been getting internet through Wifi, with the router in my neighbor's house and and extender in mine. The signal is pretty strong, 3-4 bars, and I usually get 15-20 mbps download and 4-8 upload, measured by speedtest.net. However, the past 2 months, every so often the connection will drop to .5-2 mpbs download, often dropping completely for a few seconds at a time. Now, one would think this would obviously be a network problem; someone's microwave is killing the wifi signal, or the neighbor is downloading 100 gigs of pony porn. But, here's the weird thing; rebooting my box will invariably fix the problem for 10-15 minutes, then it comes back. Windows Defender and Malwarebytes both came up negative, and the Task Manager didn't show anything using network.

OK, so the problem finally came back today... and now rebooting doesn't fix it. Here's the tracert:

Sorry, for the delay, I finally ran that and it seems like my Wi-Fi is healthy. I'm on a desktop which never moves relative to the extender, so it's unlikely that that connection is the problem; most likely on the other network, which I don't have access to. Things have been fine the past week. I'm actually starting to wonder if speedtest.net is a reliable metric of your connection's health. It was recommended to me by a bud who supposedly knows his poo poo, but I dunno.
