Since it’s not permanent, I would just buy a long ass Ethernet cable, an 8 port Gigabit Ethernet switch, and 5 6-foot patch cables. 
 
Run the long ass cable upstairs to your router so that you have internet access. Plug that into the switch. 
 
Then, use the shorter patch cables to connect each computer. 
 
You'll need an 8-port switch, NOT a 5-port switch because you’ll need 5 ports (one each) for the gaming PC’s, and a 6th port for the uplink to the router. 
 
Consumer switches generally come in 5, 8, and 16 port varieties. 
 
You should buy a Gigabit switch over a 10/100 switch because the price increase is marginal, and you don’t want to add an unnecessary bottleneck. Especially if you need/want to share files between PC’s. 

Ask your friend for the password? If he doesn't remember there's usually a way to do a factory reset. Check the manual (or find the manual online if it didn't come with one).

Material:
-get a cat 6 or 7 cable <100m or fiber single mode duplex lc
-get a switch at least 3 ports >1 gbit
-get an Access Point (Ubiquiti is pretty good) with 2,4 + 5ghz ->802.11 b/g/n/ac
Solution:
high speed networking

We don't really need these threads once a week

It's absolutely possible to prioritize any kind of traffic in OpenWRT, DD-WRT, or TomatoWRT. Below I've linked to OpenWRT's official wiki pages on setting up QoS.

Yea I contacted my isp and they fixed it somehow. 

There is another option...You can investigate Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) type connections. This will use your existing COAX wiring for IP Data. Note the price of these can vary, and your home gateway may already support MoCA.

Dude GTFO, I'm a  Cisco CNP and was working for Audi for years as their main Server engineer and ipconfig is still a damn useful command.
 
 

How is it that this is the FIRST post that says 'Call Your ISP'?  that should have been the FIRST suggestion.

There are tools to a network that can help with a unmanaged switch. What you will need to do is download a program called iPerf3.
 
To perform the test you will need to computers with a gigabit port (mainly to test the full speed). This test will simply test for throughput, and latency of the switch. The idea here is to have just two PC's plugged into the switch, both with iPerf3. Once the PC's are setup then you will need to run iPerf3 as a "Server" on one PC and then run the "Client" on the other PC. This will simply test TCP traffic by default, but then you can test UDP by using a different command.
 
Here is the link to iPerf3: https://iperf.fr/
 
Note: That iPerf won't tell you what is wrong, but only that there is a problem. Also, you will need to bench mark your PC's running back-to-back (either with a Crossover Cable or a Straight Through Cable).

196 = 11000100
/30 means a subnet mask of .252 which is 11111100
So only the last two bits change, so the .196/32 goes from 
11000100 = 196
To
11000111 = 199
There is your problem :).
 
edit: changed the binary numbers to be right. I need to sleep more ...

You might want to look into Sonoff as well, they have a fairly mature productline, easily integratable with Google Assistant, Alexa and Apple Home. (The latter is bit more a pain to setup) Not the mention they are dirt cheap and look nice!

All in one solution available from sonoff.

I like this. I'm already interested in SB computers and this could be a cool way to learn how to deal with them (0 experience with them btw). 
 
In short terms. Using a Rasperry Pi, for example, connected to the router and then installing VLC making it decode videos from the PC would be the same as having a "wired chromecast", a very limited one hehe. 
 
I actually posted this because I could not believe there was not any " wired chromecast" out there. Seems like a cool project with SB awaits me.
 
Thank you very much.
 
 

If you want to stream from your PC to your TV then this is pretty simple to do as there are several solutions to make it possible.
 
It sounds like that you pretty much want a way to decode a IP Video signal. The simplest solution (in terms of cost), but requires some advanced setup would be to use a single board PC and install VLC. Once installed then setup a RTP Video Client to decode from the network. The best practice for this is to use Multicast, but this again requires a separated network, or managed network. Note, that using a Single Board PC are GREAT ways to learn and get GREAT CHEAP SOLUTIONS
 
The next solution you could do would be to use something like a Xbox one to simply stream videos from your PC.
 
Edit:  Or as Dalekphalm stated a Apple TV, ChromeCast, Android TV, etc...

In regards to Patent, just because you don't build stuff doesn't mean you can't get something patent. I currently own a patent and have never built it in my life. I simply sold licensing rights for the patent.

Good Day,
 
Both methods will work, but I would go with Method 2 as this will be easier to accomplish.
 
First off, most consumer grade routers have limited routing support to accomplish true control of VLANs within their stock firmware. If you find a router that works with WRT, then you are good to go. Pretty much the WRT firmware will allow you to separate the LAN into VLANs with multiple SSID's. Currently I have the Linksys 1900ACSv2 running Chaos Calmer. This unit has two physical ethernet connections (essentially 1 WAN, and 4 LAN Ports). The 4 LAN ports act as a switch, but within the Chaos Calmer firmware i am able to create a VLAN for each network port.
 
My network setup in a pinch:
 
WRT-1900ACSv2 (Linksys)
 
-Internet Gateway pulls into the WAN of the LInksys
-Linksys broadcasts a total of 12 Networks (3 for each VLAN; 1 for 5 GHz, 1 for 2.4 GHz, and the last is for a guest network)
-LInksys separates each LAN into a separate VLAN subnet
-Linksys uses a Bandwidth monitor to dynamically control bandwidth restrictions
-Linksys uses an email client to actually push out reports via email of Bandwidth usage down to the internal IP Address
This type of solution also gives you the ability to allow for users on certain VLAN's to access other devices on different VLANs.
 
NOTE: If you decide to go with WRT, please be sure to read as much as possible before starting. It is possible to brick a router and then it becomes a bigger job then what it really is. Here is a great link to determine hardware for WRT: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start

*Shhh* don't bring that up...he need to learn the hard way when trying to splice the line...

Are you wanting to filter out the DSL signal?

If so, you will need a RJ11 Digital Filter.https://www.amazon.com/In-line-DSL-Filter-w-Splitter/dp/B003807GK6

reset your internet card on PC. Run through the troubleshooting process. 
I reckon you have the latest drivers and all..
If that doesn't fix it, you might have to restart the PC. Sometimes starting things from fresh solves the problem. Same with me.

My guess is its the servers for rocket league. What you gotta under stand is just because you have blazing speeds, doesn't mean the server your downloading from does. It could also be an issue at the peering point or some where along the network. If other downloads work fine I would recon its their servers. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it.
