    Sounds like your PC is using up all the bandwidth when booted. I would start by checking it out, is it infected with something? Is it running a large amount of updates, like games/windows on a already slow enough connection?

    I would suggest to eliminate all other devices - i avail, connect computer directly to the router over Ethernet cable - no 8p "splitter"(i guess switch?), no TP-Link extender, nothig else. See if issues persist then.
