# Stop Wasting Money on Expensive Routers

Griffins Tech Talks 🖥️ on Instagram: "Stop wasting money on expensive routers… your internet might NOT actually be slow. 👀
By default, Windows can quietly use your bandwidth in the background to share updates with other PCs.
That means: • Higher ping 🎮
• Laggy gaming ⚠️
• Slower internet speeds 📉
…even when you’re paying for fast Wi-Fi.
The fix is super simple:
Settings → Windows Update → Advanced Options → Delivery Optimization
Turn OFF: “Allow downloads from other PCs”
One small setting change… and your connection is finally yours again. 🚀
Before upgrading your router, optimize your PC first.
