I appreciate you taking the time to read this so when I use my pc I always get bad connection when my brother and sister watch vines, YouTube, or Netflix. Is there anyway to fix this cause when they're not around my internet is blazing fast and I can download 25gb files in 39 minutes.whenever I play my games it says bad connection and I lag out and I have an excellent wireless network adaptor too so I don't know what to do. All help is appreciated!
Ps I was looking into a network repeater that plugs into the wall

A repeater will likely make the issue much worse if it is a wireless issue.

Step 1. Connect your PC to the router with a cable just as a test. If you still have issues then the problem is not in the wireless you are out of internet capacity and the only way to fix it is to buy a larger internet connection from your ISP.

It is highly likely you will find it is a capacity issue on your ISP, the wireless speed is many times larger and tends to not be the bottleneck.

If it works fine on the wired connection then you pretty much must find a way to get your own wireless bandwidth. The easiest way is if you have a dual band router to rig the security on the router to only allow your machine to use say the 5g radio. You of course...

This would be a AP and not a repeater though. You would still have to find a non conflicting radio channel and these are getting hard to find with all the neighbors also using wireless.
