Hey everyone! I usually get a solid internet speed of 350Mb/s, but whenever I launch any game, my speed drops to under 10Mb/s. I've tried reinstalling my network driver, and I even used an Ethernet cable, but nothing seems to work. My router is a Nokia G-240W-C. I'm not sure if the issue is with the router or my laptop's network adapter.

Have you thought about using a VPN like Proton VPN? Sometimes gaming sites limit your speed to avoid bandwidth problems, and a VPN might help with that.
How are you measuring your speed? When you say you open a game, do you mean through Steam or something similar?
I run a speed test in the browser before launching Steam or Epic, and I do the same once the game is open, because I really notice the lag while playing.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give it a shot.
