Buy new router, connect via Ethernet, disable ISP's router Wifi to avoid radio interference, share wifi access to family member.
Set QoS rules on your new router to get a higher priority/bandwidth for YOUR devices.
QoS was my first thought as well. OP is ready to build a faraday cage to brute-force this common 3rd party router feature!
This is what I intended to do, but the ISP's modem/router wont let you change any settings and has no antennae that i can remove. But then again, I got the 'that does it, im solving this' itch to solve the problem on a Saturday when their customer service line is closed. The real solution is going to be waiting til monday and asking nicely to change a setting or two.
