For the last 2 weeks icant really keep my internet to work. computer is revving as if I am playing an online game (using a lot of power) but I only have 2 -3 internet windows open.
My internet stops working every few minutes. I have a realtek router because we have a computer and 2 tablets running. it is suppose to be secure....

when internet stops I have to run windows troubleshooter and it takes forever and I can see several ethernet connection tried.... I sàhould have only the realtek ethernet connection no?

ran an antivirus nothing was found....I need help as I am no expert and need to have a strong ineternet connection for work.
 
try a different ethernet cable
reinstall the ethernet (LAN) driver for your device

which antivirus did you use?
