Apologies if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find a thread about it other than an unanswered reddit post, so I figured I'd try here.
So, I never really noticed this until I went to play Metroid Prime and listen to a podcast at the same time, but if I have Dolphin 5.0 open at all, even without a game running, even with inbound and outbound firewall blocks on the executable, having Dolphin 5.0 or later open just kills my internet speed. I recently tried Dolphin 4.0.2 to see if that would fix the problem, and indeed it did not have that problem. I am running on Wi-Fi, and can't test on ethernet because my router is in a pretty dumb spot, but my Wi-Fi adapter is the Broadcom 802.11ac according to device manager. If this is incorrect (I don't know a whole lot about network adapters, only the basics), then let me know and I'll do a bit more digging.
I attempted to make a video showcasing the problem, but for some reason, as soon as I go to record it happening it works fine for the most part. It shows up at about 20 seconds in, but usually it's more severe than that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnFflvTAHto&feature=youtu.be
If you need any more information, let me know, and i'll be happy to supply more. Thanks so much in advance.
