Hi there, I see you're having some trouble with your home WiFi setup. You mentioned using a Cable Modem connected to a VoIP phone, which is linked to your router. There are about 8 devices online at any time, and after your laptop's hard drive failed, it was replaced by a technician who installed Windows 10. When you tried playing Minecraft, the ping was extremely high—around 500ms—which made the game very difficult. The issue also affected your Google Home, making it slow to respond. Notably, everything worked fine when the laptop wasn’t connected. It seems like your laptop is causing significant network disruptions. Have you checked if other devices are also experiencing similar problems?
