Hi all,
Couple of years ago I built a PC and connected it by ethernet cable to the router, I have a decent connection however recently my brother bought a ethernet switch and I think it is a powerline ethernet extender to play games on his laptop instead of the wifi, we have a low end router with only 2 ethenret ports which were already in use and a large family with many devices connected by WiFi, he believes when he uses the extender nothing changes but I have noticed a major change in my speed like videos constantly buffering, taking a lot longer to download stuff and even taking longer to load web pages and even my phone seems to be having problems. This only happens when he connects the ethernet extender and when I remove it my connection is fine again, he persisent to have it in so he can play games but I need some clarification on this.
Thanks
