Apologies for not mentioning before, I have "very good" signal
strength. I think the problem has to do with Norton Antivirus. I
installed it the same day, that this problem starting occuring.

I read in one of the previous links that they fixed the issue by
uninstalling Norton (Symantec, now?), but that is the only virus
protection I have?

Any suggestions on how to proceed?
