So currently i've been experiencing lag from other wireless users, i'm currently using an ethernet cable for my internet, and there are 3 more users using the internet but wirelessly. 2 of the users use youtube, and one downloads videos from youtube, this creates a big impact on my game and lags most of the time. I can turn off the wireless, but i choose not to and tend to play when no one is using the internet. But at the moment it's beginning to get annoying and i started to research on alternatives to reduce lag while gameplay, or block them from websites.
I'm using JUST a NETGEAR Modem/Router (No Antennas on it) and the program NETGEAR Genie.
My ISP is Optus, average download speed is like 350kb/s since it's just ADSL.
I found that Power line adapters and Routers may help me and reduce lag, but i'm not too sure about purchasing one of them so i needed some suggestions on that.
But is there a possible way where they can browse youtube and cause me not to lag? Or could i possibly limit the download speed using NETGEAR Genie?
Could i somehow separate the internet between my computer and theirs? like have my own server, while they have theirs?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, i wouldn't mind having two plans in one house (if that's possible) would i possibly be able to make that happen so that i have a plan to myself?

 
Solution
I have had a related problem with download speed reducing over time, but without other users on the same network.

The cause of the problem was the Netgear Genie program.

Exiting from the program (ensuring it is NOT running at all) solved the problem completely.

Hope it does the same for you.
