Hello. I have two Microsoft Surface devices, one SB2 and one Surface Laptop 2, both on Windows 10. Both of them, over the last few months, have experienced significant wifi and wired network slowdo...
- Teams alone shouldn't be causing this type of substantial network drop for you, so this is definitely concerning. Do you have a ticket open with Support on this yet by chance?

Which makes me start to wonder if the issue is at the router level. It seems there is a known issue with Hub 3 and Hub 5 routers even when in Modem mode when sending packets over UDP.
Going to speak to VM about an upgrade to my Hub
