Should 3 pc's share upload bandwidth evenly?
Google Photo's "Backup & Sync" tool is making my internet connection unusable when I'm uploading photos from my desktop. I have another desktop & laptop, all on the same WiFi.
I do see I can limit upload and download speed.
QUESTION:
If the desktop is the only device requesting bandwidth, I presume that would get all of the bandwidth.
However, when I start using my laptop, shouldn't it share the connection and play nice?
My Comcast is normally 30 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up when I'm not uploading.
When uploading without specifying a limit, it can drop to under 1 download and 1 upload.
I just specified a limit of 400 KB/sec and download limit to 1800 KB/sec to see if that helps.
Thx
Mike

If one device can gobble up the bandwidth, how come one device watching a netflix HD movie doesn't cause grind the other devices down to an unusable state?
