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.
Comment on Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own?

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!
