I live with 4 other individuals, we pay for gigabit internet speed but 3/4 of us are getting terrible speeds, 80 MBs per second download speed even hardwired into the router, this is a problem on all of our devices. We are very causal with our internet use, causal gaming and using our laptops and junk. Our 4th roomate is an avid PC gamer, spent several thousand dollars on equipment and what not, and he is able get speeds of 800mbs per second download on his PC and on his IPhone. I’m concerned because none of us in the house are able to obtain these speeds. He bought a Net-gear Nighthawk and set it up himself, is it possible he prioritized all of his devices leaving us shit speeds?
Hope this makes sense, my tech knowledge is very surface level.
UPDATE: First of all thank you for all the help, this has been a real frustrating situation.
Roomate did a hard reset on the router and then ran a speed test on his phone that was getting roughly 15mbps and it shot up to 130mbps. He has an older iPhone 6s, don’t know how much that would effect signal strength, but still a massive improvement. What does this mean in our situation? Can we confirm we has throttling our internet for his use?
UPDATE #2: After the hard reset of the router the hardwired PS4 speeds went from 60mbps to 230mbps.
