And this should be done when I have the ethernet cable plugged in right? (( appreciate all the steps btw <3)
 
Yes, use the ethernet cable plugged into the router, use your username and password supplied by your isp.
You can run a speed test

Don't really know how that justifies you calling someone a retard for replacing a word with a single letter

Finished testing and I wasn't getting ping spikes or unstable internet. Maybe once or twice, but not much. (when using ethernet). What could be the problem then?

Your wireless network is configured wrong or simply not up to the task.

What router is it providing the wireless?

It's not MWEB, but your wifi router.
 
OP check if is the router. Just speedtest from your mobile device. If you getting full speed via lan cable and not with wifi.

This is extremely weird since TWO of my routers did the exact same thing. One supplied from MWEB (the 7010) and my new 1 (Cudy WR 1300) Sure it isn't anything special, but for a 50mpbs line it should be sufficient enough

See the thing is right, when I ran the speedtest while using ethernet, it was a stable 49 - 55mbps. With WIFI I do still hit that speed, if I run it again, it won't hit that speed (maybe it'll hit like 10mpbs). It isn't stable AT ALL on wifi, compared to ethernet.

Do you have lots of devices using the wireless possibly? Maybe some you aren't aware of that could be using the available bandwidth?

With wireless there are so many factors at play its almost impossible to just pinpoint what the issue would be.

Could be noise, interference. Could just be 2 faulty routers.

Depends on the time of day. Between 8 - 12 there's about 4 devices that's being HEAVILY used (for online classes) After that it's only 2 or 3. I do have another router that I'll try, but I don't think it'll fix it
 
Geez just run a cable through the roof to your room. They cheap. Do it once and save yourself a lot of frustration and further costs.
Can't believe that people that love to game, still try wifi.
 
I had experienced very slow connections when I used my laptop wirelessly a couple of years ago. Someone I know at Openserve told me to invest in Ethernet Cables as the 2.4Ghz bandwidth that routers use are so oversaturated with other routers, remote car keys, electric gate remotes etc, that you will always experience slow speeds.

Heck even the 5Ghz bandwith are becoming more saturated.

With Ethernet I have had zilch problems with speed. And they are a dirt cheap
