Do inactive devices slow network speed
I have a custom built PC running windows 7 home premium, an i5 2500k, and 16gb of 1600mhz RAM, and I'm occasionally experiencing lag while watching Youtube videos in firefox. I scan regularly for viruses with malwarebytes and superantispyware, so i know thats not the problem, I run ccleaner about once a month thus keeping browser bloat to a minimum. But we do have 4 devices that are connected to the wifi, 3 phones and an ipod touch. Can these devices slow the network even if they are not being used?
