Thanks for all the suggestions. The situation seems to be resolved although I'm not 100% sure what was the cause. Made a lot of changes at the same time to try and fix it. My guess is that it had to do with the VirtualBox software I had loaded, which adds a Network bridge component to your adapter. Similar to the one that VM Workstation adds. I removed that and everything seems to be back to normal.
Again, appreciate all the suggestions.

Wireless router: ASUS RTN-66U Wireless bridge: Trendnet TEW-640MB Internet download speed from provider is 25MB, 2MB upload All machines are Windows 7 Pro x64 Driving me crazy. About 2 weeks ago updated my wireless router, and also swapped out my providers cable modem with a newer model (Motorola, not sure of model). Since then I've been noticing significant slowness in streaming services (NetFlix, Hulu, etc...) from various devices on my network (laptop, Roku, desktop). My provider has a speed test page that I've been using to test (http://www.ptd.net/help-desk/internet/speed-test ). From my main, machine, which is hardwired to the router, I'm getting 3-4MB consistently. I've directly connected to the cable modem to bypass the router, same results. Initially after cable modem is reset, I'll get ~24MB, but it drops off sharply over the next few minutes and I'm back to 3-4MB. Reset modem, swapped out Ethernet cable, same results. Finally contacted provider, and they had me hook up a different machine (used a laptop). And lo and behold consistent 24MB download speeds. Granted I have a lot of garbage on my machine, but I couldn't think of anything that would produce these results. Went so far as to swap out the NIC with an old Intel PRO/100. Same results. So it looks like it's something on that specific machine. But I can't think of what that would be. If all else fails I can reload it, not that big a deal. But I'd love to figure this out if possible. Any thoughts?
