I recently moved and I had my laptop going until I had the time to setup my gaming desktop speed was great working fine. I have always had the gaming desktop wired straight into the router but this time when I set it up all my other devices internet speed dropped dramatically. The desktop is getting over 20mps but the laptop now only gets 1 or 2mps it was sitting at the 20mps mark prior to setting up the desktop. Any ideas what could be wrong or how to fix it?

Those issues are unrelated most likely. The only possibility of them being related is, when you connected your desktop it started downloading something and maxed your connection out. This would leave the other devices with little to no bandwidth until the download completed.
