Internet Connection is slowing down?

Over the past month I have noticed my internet got slower. And then in the last 5 days the internet will either be slow as usual, which is rare. Or it will completely stop working, which happens in long periods of time and often. So on my playstation it isnt as bad, but it is still slower. On my computer it stops working a lot and i have to restart the router. It's also slower too. I have cleared junk files an defragmented and it remains slow. My iPod is the worst. My internet doesn't work on it for about 15 hours of the day, which is the majority. And if i restart the router it works for like 25 seconds then it stops again. Is there anything I can/should do to find out whats wrong or fix it? Or at least stop it from not working. I'd be alright if it was still slow. I just need it to work. Thanks

    Tell your neighbors to buy their own goddamn router.

    All joked aside, the router is probably old. Try replacing it. Maybe your devices are too far away from the router. Are you using them all at once? That can slow down connection. Try putting a password on your network so no one outside your house has access to it.

    Call your internet provider or get a new router

    Maybe somebody is using it and downloading of it
