Need a solution for Slow browsing when 2 PC's are using the internet

[Salman Soomro]

We have two PCs in the house. the browsing is okay when only one PC is used. but the browsing nearly STOPS when both of them are downloading something and both PCs are turned on... so is there a way like port forwarding for this issue.. please help.. most of the day i cant even use FB :/

most likely limited by your bandwidth.
one way is to limit download speed.
or (though i am not an expert on this), setup Qos (quality of service) to prioritize one PC over the other. This can be based on ip address, router slot(?), etc. again, i may be wrong, this is just what i remember.

. well consider me a noob, and try giving a noob-oriented-answer.

limiting doesnt help. even then both of the PCs cant browse

It's possible one of the machines is infected with something that is flooding your connection with unnecessary traffic. Make sure you have clean gunkware free systems.

Out of curiosity, are they connecting via ethernet? wifi?

ethernet

if the full bandwidth is being used during download, this will really happen
