I've noticed that whenever I turn on my computer, the wifi on other devices in my house becomes really slow. Even if I'm just watching a video, TVs and gadgets start having trouble connecting. The router is located in my room where the computer is, and my TV usually works fine. What steps can I take to resolve this issue?

It sounds like your computer might be hogging all the bandwidth. Have you tried checking if this happens even when your PC is just sitting idle? Knowing what internet plan you have and how your PC connects to the router can also help. If it's over wifi and you're on a high-traffic connection, that could be causing issues too.
Definitely check the internet plan details. If your plan isn't that high in speed, having your PC on, even if it's not actively using a lot of data, might still slow things down for other devices. Also, since you're connected via ethernet, that might help with speed, but if your router is old or not powerful enough, it could struggle during peak usage.
