One machine connects to a router while another uses a separate one, resulting in varying performance levels.

The issue involves two computers owned by the same person. One computer works fine, but the other consistently fails to load games or stream content. Online connections experience high ping spikes reaching 900, then briefly normalizing. The connection type is always wired, yet they can't establish it due to living arrangements. Despite changing ISP providers, the problem remains unresolved.
If a single client consumes too much bandwidth, it may disrupt connections for others. Consider utilizing an 802.11x standard with greater capacity and a router that supports MIMO technology. This setup enables multiple users to handle latency-sensitive or bandwidth-heavy tasks at the same time. You might also restrict each MAC address's bandwidth in QoS settings, preventing any one user from monopolizing the available resources.
Enable Quality of Service on the router when supported, and set desired traffic priority.
