Issues with ethernet

Hello there. Ive got an issue with ethernet. When someone downloads throught ethernet , all other devices on wireless connection can´t connect to game servers even tho they can watch videos , download or surf the internet. This happens everytime something is downloaded throught ethernet from torrent , browser , steam. From everything even a small 20mb file makes it hell to connect to game servers for wireless connection devices. Any solutions? Ive tried to restart router , even contacting my ISP. Nothing solved it.

Clarification Request

What has been tried?

This doesn't sound normal at all except for Torrents. Torrents can cause the downloader to be targeted by a denial of service attack. Too bad about that and no one I know offers a fix for that.

As to the rest I can't guess what's been tried. Here I'd walk in with a shop router to test it out.

To me this sounds like the usual.

The modem and router have not been changed out and I read no mention about the other things that are done such as installing the latest firmware in modem and router.

Remember I have made calls on such and always carry in our own router as a test. But a few times the owner insisted I get their router working which is a nice idea but if the router is subpar we can't fix that.

Remember also that torrents can kill a connection as the anti-torrent companies mount a denial of service attack. So you can't help folk who torrent.

There's a lot to cover here but it sounds like you haven't changed the modem or router to better models or stopped torrenting.

Finally you left out the make, model of the modem and router so I can't check about prior complaints or firmware versions. Tell the forum all the details.

Huawei does not appear to publish firmware updates.

There is no OpenWRT firmware for this model either.

Try turning on QOS by reading http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/Huawei/HG8245/QoS_Configuration.htm
but I'm going to abandon you here. Why? It's a POS Modem+Router with many complaints. It appears that no one has a cure that works everytime. If this was mine and if I used the phone option I'd add a second router for Internet access and sharing.

Is why I have to stop here and give the nod to replacement routers or other than this make modem+router.
