A cloud upload can consume a household's upstream capacity while a video call needs timely outgoing traffic. If calls become unreliable only during synchronization, test that relationship before assuming the wireless router is too old. Check whether OneDrive is actively uploading when the call degrades. Record whether other household devices are also sending large files. A correlation across several incidents is more useful than blaming the application merely because its icon is visible.

That does not mean the router has reduced the entire connection to that value. The statistic belongs to Teams' current media behavior and conditions. Microsoft documents Call health under the meeting's More actions and Settings controls. It presents network, audio, video and screen-sharing information. Inspect it during the problem so the observation corresponds to the affected activity.

Moving to 2.5G is most compelling when a frequent transfer actually runs into the existing wired link's capacity. Choose a real job such as copying a video project to a NAS. Record its size and elapsed time with the existing adapter. Keep the same files and destination for the comparison. A synthetic speed result matters less than whether the daily task finishes sooner.

The Zoom Web App's supported statistics view can provide information closer to the actual meeting traffic. Ask whether others hear your audio breaking up or whether you hear theirs breaking up. Note whether video and screen sharing behave the same way. This separates outgoing, incoming and media-specific symptoms before anyone changes the router.
