I have also replaced my old router (which had failed before I posted this message and might have precipitated the problem.). Now everything is working perfectly again, including the readyboost USB stick.

Try takingoutthe USB drive for ReadyBoost and see if that improves the situation. It will put the pagefile back on the hard drive where it doesn't have much of a limit on size ....
