Question / Help Low bandwidth, dropping frames

Hey. I don't know how, but when my sister starts using her loptop or even a phone WIFI, my obs bandwidth drops to 700-1400 and stream starts lagging. I'm using broadband wired connection. I though that wired and wireless connections are unrelated, but they are somehow.... I even changed my router to better one. Though the problem was with overload on router. But it didn't help at all. Normally streams are fine, without any hiccups. Just when my sister starts using WIFI. And it touches only OBS bandwidth, because when I do Speedtest.net the speeds are the same. So something is just going on OBS side, I think. I'm not sure. I'm just desperate. Please, help. Any tips/suggestions will do

The logs are giving just basic "problems", almost. The disconnect and dropped frames, I'm seeing already by myself. The forum thread you linked doesn't really have the solution to my kind of problem. Only that could be my ISP throttling my connection. But I can't use the test software sadly... Still no clue. Right now my sister watches HD Streaming thought our wifi connection and my OBS gets 0 kb/s bandwith, she turns her wifi off, its normal 2500kb/s

@Harold, can't find that option on my router settings... Is that on controlled on computer through software? And, at all, how can firewall influence obs bandwidth ONLY when wifi is on... It's strange. Still, thank you for help. Tomorrow ISP guy comes to my home, interesting what can he do :D

It's a security option in the router, and for 90% of routers I've encountered, it's not needed nor is it actually wanted.

ISP guy was just confused AF! Didn't help at all :( Just checked the interned connection, said it's fine, and the speeds are correct. Nothing more....
@Harold, I didn't find that option on my router, but I found that it's off by default on D-Link routers.
