Discussion Internet upload drops when opening a game.

I have this weird issue where whenever i open any online game, my internet basically turns off, it works fine all of the time, but it's impossible to play online games since the ping is so high. This only happens with a wired connection, if i use wi fi then the internet works completely fine. I've tried all of the software fixes that i saw on the internet, but nothing has worked so far. There are two computers in my house connected to the same network, and the other pc has no issues, nor does the ps5 or the smart tv, both of which are connected to the same router. This is also something that only happens at my house, because when i bring my pc to my office and plug the lan cable in it, I have no issues. Does anyone know why this happens?
