Hello.

I have PC which has Windows 7 installed. I'm connected to my router via Linksys AE1200, so it's WiFi. When the secondary PC is not ON, the speed looks like this:

But when i turn ON secondary PC, which is connected via Ethernet cable, i get this:

My pc is running Windows 7, Secondary is running Windows 10.

I don't have idea what it could be, could anybody help me?

Thanks :wahoo:

Pretty ignorant thing to say to the pro's you are asking for help. If you are not from a networking background then how do you know for a sure that there is not something you overlooked and have setup wrong.

While I am not just assuming that you connected something wrong, the last thing I want is waste a bunch of time troubleshooting something when it was just something stupid like an IP conflict or spanning tree issue.
Is the secondary PC downloading things.

If secondary PC is normal off then it is likely catching up on antivirus and windows updtaes and thus is downloading and taking up your bandwidth.

It is best to allow computers to stay on to perform these updates.
People will often say, whenever I turn on my PC it is really slow, well yeah, it is trying to catch up on 3 months worth of stuff that you have not let it finish.
