A few days ago I moved the router because it was in the way and since it's been plugged back in, I can't use my computer without having a VPN on. Google, discord and most apps just don't launch or connect without the VPN. The VPN also causes the connection to be even worse than it already is causing me to spend hours connecting to everything.

Well I'd assume the router is the problem.
Maybe it has a firewall up but I don't know why it would suddenly happen after 3 years

Hi @RafeB,
Can other devices still connect to the internet through your router, just not your PC? If you connect it via ethernet to test, are you able to connect or is it the same?
Have you been able to try a full reset of the router?
