My internet felt slow even with gigabit speeds until I enabled this

Paying for 1,200Mbps internet should mean everything runs smoothly, but my experience told a different story. Work video calls froze whenever streaming kicked up elsewhere in the house. My Ring doorbell took ages to load a live view after dinner. My own gaming sessions turned into a frustrating mess of lag spikes and rubber-banding whenever the family was streaming. Speed tests looked fine, though. Great, even. I'd already ditched my mesh network for hardwired Ubiquiti access points months earlier, and the cables checked out after I'd learned what actually makes Ethernet perform well. Hardware wasn't the problem. My router was treating a critical Zoom presentation exactly the same as a background iOS update.
