Will connecting my router to the PC help the upload speed?

So here's my speed result from when I put the modem into the PC: http://www.speedtest.net/result/7442671631

And here's one from the router:

Will the speed be better if I connect the router to my PC through an ethernet cable? My router is kinda old but buying a cable would be much cheaper than buying a new router. I need the upload speed for streaming on Twitch.

It's odd that your router would slow it down. Check the router settings and see if you have any QoS on.

Is one test on wifi and one wired? Make sure to test them using the same.

The router is wireless. In the first test, I plugged my modem to the PC.

EDIT: Would connecting the router to PC with an ethernet cable fix the problem or at least will it be more stable? I can't really play with the modem plugged into PC because there are other ppl in the house who use the internet.

Hard wiring the PC to the router will be significantly faster than WiFi. You should do that if possible.
