Hello. I use an In-Line Ethernet connection to my PC, which hasn't caused an issue prior to now. I have since moved out and now have to connect to this T-Mobile Cellular 5G router that other people connect to (Not exactly sure what the system is). Now when I try to go online, my bandwidth is cut extremely low compared to other wireless speeds achieved while connected to the same router, with my system topping out on maybe 6Mb/s while an iPhone can achieve 300Mb/s. Yet whenever my system is active and connected it completely wrecks the speed and ping for everyone else. People who may be streaming movies or playing some games on a console will experience lag or buffer, but only when my computer is on. I don't even get a good share of bandwidth out of it. And it is only when my computer is connected to the internet. The impact is so strong that my system cannot even be connected to the internet until it is late at night, and the impact of my system is not as great as it is during the day,

 

If anyone knows a solution, please feel welcome to reply or ask questions. This is my first post here.

If the network performance is fine and then tanks where your pc is connected, I'd start looking at Malware or viruses. 

 

Also, check for ip conflicts.

Good Idea, I purchased a PCI-E Wi-fi Card as a quick fix and everything seems to be fine now.
