While downloading on Ethernet, your brother's internet speed drops down
unfortunately this often means upgrading your internet plan from your provider. you might explore various routers that include bandwidth controls per device or priority packet routing. usually, when I encounter this issue, it's from users with speeds around 20 or 30mb/s. the optimal solution tends to focus on increasing throughput and using a larger pipeline rather than narrowing a smaller one. if you already have a speed near 150mb/s, adjusting router settings will certainly make a difference.
You have limited options to boost your processing speed. For example, when downloading games from Steam, you can adjust the download speed settings to a low level—such as 4.1mbps—to avoid drawing attention.
Fibre functions well across various gadgets. It doesn’t recognize which device is linked—it acts as a simple unit. The router, modem, or ONT handles the core tasks.
You likely need a stronger router. With only 100Mbps cable internet, your usage is heavy—streaming, gaming, music, and video calls all at once. Your wife is on another TV, and you’re not experiencing problems with download speeds. Everything runs smoothly over Wi-Fi and Ethernet, but your devices are all connected through various wired and wireless setups.
Our 100Mb fiber supports many more devices than the 10Mb cable, especially when compared to the slow ISP connection.
And that doesn't imply fiber is the problem at all. It could be anything from a bad modem or router to an unreliable ISP or incorrect network setup. It's not about the fiber itself—it's just the equipment and configuration. I also use fiber and still get around 970Mbps downloads, 98Mbps uploads, supporting about 20 devices without any issues. The reason is a well-configured network with a solid router like Pfsense.
