This network problem is unusual and seems to affect only video playback. Both Google and Ookla tests appear normal, but your downloads and file transfers are okay. However, streaming services like YouTube, Twitch, or Netflix are severely impacted—especially online games. The issue might be tied to latency or bandwidth allocation for video traffic. You mentioned the speed increased when using Wi-Fi directly from the router, but the connection remains unstable due to the router’s placement, causing poor performance in real-time applications. Have you tried moving the router closer to your devices or checking for interference? Also, ensure your internet plan supports the required upload and download speeds for streaming.

Did you verify the Quality of Service configurations on the device? Which router are you using? What is its manufacturer and model?
