Is there a way to see which device is crippling my intetnet please? (0.02mb down, 0.00mb up)

Hello, our internet runs at around 16mb down, 1mb up on a good day. The problem is if anything uses the upload it becomes completely unusable. Working from home in particular is tricky.

What I think is happening, is one of our devices is using that precious 1mb upload and it's making the entire thing unusable. If I intentionally upload (say, backing up my photos on my phone) then the same thing happens, which is what's making me think that a device is uploading without me realising.

If I login to the router and click devices it shows all of the total download and upload for each device, but not the current speeds. I also can't see a way to reset it to zero, which would also allow me to keep an eye on what's uploading.

Thank you

Have you tried switching off each of your devices, one at a time, and then doing a speed test after each one, until you isolate the culprit?

Why not take readings of usage , don't actively use anything for an hour or so & then take another set of readings.
