Netgear dumb commercial switches are good.

That’s where it begins and ends with them. Their Soho is shit. Has been for the last decade.

Last Soho I bought of theirs, a simple reboot would drop the configs 80% of the time.

The router after that was a tp link, it was good enough, def a step up from Netgear, but not great.

I ended up going mikrotik. Super solid, always updated, but man is it intense to learn. Would never recommend for a newbie to networking.

If you’re downloading a lot of shows or games often, not too bad.

But wtf are you uploading? Are you sure neither of you are YouTube content creators?

More likely explanation is someone leeching off your wifi.
