Windows 10 Internet connection

I just recently got a new Windows 10 computer and everytime I open the laptop it makes everyone's else Internet connection in the house very slow, so slow they have to get off the internet all together. As soon as I shut down my laptop the Internet Goes
back to normal. Is there a way I can fixs this?

Downloading

Go to an Internet cafe or a friends house with a fast connection and download it there.

What you are looking for is called QOS ( Quality of Service ) and as far as I know the only QOS setting in Windows 10 only applies to OneDrive.

Your Router may or may not be able to set the QOS for the Windows Store IP's, You would have to go to your Router manufactures web page to find out.

If you are running DDWRT you may find this helpful

That is a pretty old Router if only doing 54mbps (Wifi?) , perhaps it is just overheating trying to pull down large games ?

Try using a ethernet cable for large downloads instead perhaps....

54mbps download speed here,Router is a brand new Netgear nighthawk and it's connected through Ethernet.

had a read through regarding the QoS but I'm not even sure what's the Ip of Windows store itself?

am I the only one who has this problem?

The Nighthawk is a nice Router I have Read........

QOS works for the computers on your Lan not for websites on the Internet , ie you can limit one so it doesn't swamp the network for other when downloading.....M$ Servers will let you take data as fast as you (the router) can handle but it can be detrimental to others connected on the same Router , your computer should not lose any speed though.

Is you ISP service 54mbs down or do you mean you are connected to the Router at 54mbps? when you check your Connection Details in Networking and Sharing Center? 54mbps second is the speed for a rather old Wifi card if so, on only 801b I think , certainly not what the Nighthawk is capable of.....

After I posted my response to your question I said that "and as far as I know the only QOS setting in Windows 10 only applies to OneDrive"

Seems like I was wrong

I did a bit of Google searching to find out if there was a command to do it in PowerShell and I found it
Code: New-NetQosPolicy -Name OneDriveLimits -AppPathNameMatchCondition OneDrive.exe -IPProtocolMatchCondition Both -NetworkProfile All -ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond 1000000.[/quote] A little bit of Google Foo (New-NetQosPolicy) led me to the fact that this was possible even in the good old day's of Windows's Vista.

It seems that if you know the program name and it is QOS aware you can throttle it, In the above example it throttled OneDrive and below Cortana to 1 MB's.
Code: New-NetQosPolicy -Name CortanaBandwidth -AppPathNameMatchCondition SearchUI.exe -IPProtocolMatchCondition Both -NetworkProfile All -ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond 1000000.[/quote]
I found several example's but I could not find the executable or path for Windows Store desktop version.

I tried it with uTorrent and it slowed it down for a minute and went back the same speed as it was before, so I guess that uTorrent is not QOS aware.

Many SOHO routers probably do not have the option to control the Wan but as far as I can tell DDWRT can (Highlight red)

Initial Setup

Log into the Web Interface

Select the NAT/QoS tab and then the QoS sub-tab.

Click "Enable"

Set Port to "WAN". This works for all QoS setups EXCEPT, when using QoS by interface on a BRIDGED interface under "interface priority", UNBRIDGED interfaces work fine with WAN port setting. If you want to use QoS on a BRIDGED interface you must select port as "LAN & WLAN", which also works for all other QoS setups, but with slightly more CPU usage.

Select HTB as your packet scheduler if you have "queuing discipline" listed below it, if not then use HFSC.

Select FQ_CODEL as your queuing discipline.

Set your download and upload speeds. You can use a speed test like Speedtest.net to check your actual connection speed. Some ISPs also provide their own bandwidth testing service, which may be more reliable than the links provided. Enter no higher than 95% of the values you measured into the proper fields. After you have everything set run the speed test again. If you get near 90% of your previous measurement in each direction then things are cool. If you get results which are way off then chances are that you have reversed these values. You must enter a value for the uplink field but if you want you can enter 0 for the downlink field in which case no QoS will occur in that direction, setting your downlink field to 0 isn't recommended.

It probably bugs you to set less than 100% of your available bandwidth in these fields but this is required. There will be a bottleneck somewhere in the system and QoS can only work if the bottleneck is in your router where it has control. The goal is to force the bottleneck to be in your router as opposed to some random location out on the wire over which you have no control. Some ISP's even have bursting ("powerboost") which will temporarily give you extra bandwidth when you first start using your connection but will later throttle down to a sustained rate. Fortunately there is usually a minimum level that you receive on a consistent basis and you must set your QoS limits below this minimum. The problem is finding this minimum and you may have to repeat speed tests many times before determining it. For this reason start with 80% of your measured speed and try things for a couple of days. If the performance is acceptable you can start to inch your levels up. If you go even 2% higher than you should be, your QoS will totally stop working (just too high) or randomly stop working (when your ISP node/DSLAM is slow aka saturated). This can lead to a lot of confusion on your part so get it working first by conservatively setting these speeds and then optimize later.

One Drive does allow you to set speed limits in it's Setting dialog , on the Network TAB directly if desired....
