:confused: Im at a loss of what to do. Maybe switch to 2.4G rather than 5G?

Maybe read a book for an hour or two, and try again later.

Reading books is just a good idea in general.
If signal strength is an issue, then it may help to set the default channel higher in the 5 GHz band, as higher channels are broadcast with more power. Alternatively, if the computer doesn't move around much and it is possible to route an Ethernet cable out of the way, plugging it into the router eliminates signal as a factor.
I have been having issues with forum pages not loading completely when I launch several in new tabs in rapid succession. This is with the latest Firefox on a Windows 10 machine that is plugged in to the router. Mostly I just work around it by hitting Refresh as needed.

It's also worth noting that Russian cyberattacks have been elevated since the current situation in Ukraine began. I've noticed that network and internet performance has gotten more erratic in that time, and at work, IT is sending out multiple messages asking users to beware of suspicious messages and noting increased network requests from Russian IP addresses, urging users to be more cautious of cyber security than normal. On Friday, my co-worker's computer blue screened, and the network was down for a while. Then, later that night, my bank had an unexpected outage to online banking. I've also noticed increased connection latency, mostly at work, but at home too. All of this makes me feel like something is up. So, it's possible that something was affecting snowc's ISP, router/modem, or cellular connection.

Ho boy, guess we're in for a possible internet outage. I have Charter Spectrum and said that slower than normal speeds are going to be a pain in the butt for the next two months (or eternity. :colorful:)
@vdeane, I've solved the problem for now by connecting to the 2.4G network, albeit one of my flash drives, an Onn USB 2.0 Flash drive, seems to be causing the network latency.
@JN Winkler Reading books while a file gets copied can cut time, but schoolwork assignments have to be done by a certain time.

Looks like its my flash drive that's causing it.
Gonna have to return the sucker after all, and replace it with another Cruzer 3.0. :pan:
Seems to be that Walmart needs to be called SuckMart (as my father would call it, as he did this morning :colorful:)
Thanks everyone for helping me out.
Im keeping this open until I have my new flash drive.
I have another Cruzer 3.0 and right now thats saying its not recognized.
Aaaand I have to return that to Sandisk in Pleasant Prairie WI for a new one via USPS.
Again, well played Walmart for taking a product that's prides itself for being the best quality, and placing it in the electronic trash bin. :clap:
TL;DR: Don't buy private label flash drives from places like Walmart. ever. And I mean it :bigass:
