Apps not responding, using a lot of disk, and my I'm not sure if my ethernet port on my motherboard is broken? or something else is causing slow inter

[ChristianChadwick]

My computer is connected through an ethernet port and I should be getting around 400 mb/s download speeds like my roommate is. I tried switching my lan cable with his, no change. Switching ports, same problem. I'm not sure why my download speeds would be around 16 mb/s while my roommate connected to the same wifi with essentially the same computer specs is getting 400+. My computer seems to be running fine, it's just apps are opening slow and sometimes crashing and not responding.

So here are my questions:

1. Why is my download speed so much lower than my roommates, do I need a new motherboard? What could be affecting my download speed that drastically?
2. Why are my apps randomly not responding and crashing? I have 1Tb of free space so I don't think that's the problem.

I have a Ryzen 7 3700x, a 1660 super, as well as a MSI Pro B450-A PRO MAX AM4 motherboard if that helps at all!
