Hi,

My wired connection has this on/off problem where it can't connect to websites often and is much slower than my WiFi devices. It happens on all wired connections on the router. Occasionally the internet works completely fine on the wired connection. However, all WiFi devices work fine even when the wired connections have problems
I've tried changing DNS and updating device software but it didn't do much to help. Happened for a long time now (from Windows 7 computers to Windows 10).

What can I do?

What security/Anti-Virus software do you have installed? Try disabling it temporarily. Try a different Ethernet cable, try a different Ethernet port on the Router.
If you have a separate Router and Modem, try plugging the Ethernet directly into the modem temporarily and see if you can then access those sites.
If so, boot into Router setup and see if any sites are blocked or there are any rules in place.

A computer directly connected to the modem doesn't work either.

Try a different computer plugged directly into the modem. If that still fails, then the modem has an issue. Get another one from your ISP.
