Ping goes down when Network Activity goes up.

Hello! I recently noticed that when I uploaded a video online, my network usage went up on my pc and therefore my ping in games went down, along with my jitter to the servers. This effect is 100 percent true as i ran a command to upload a specific amount of data to a server per second and for the time that the command was running, the ping went down and jitter too. I realized that the reason for all this is because my router somehow prioritizes my PC more when its network usage is higher or something like I'm writing this so that someone could maybe tell me how I could receive this prioritization without needing a high network usage. I currently have my Pc connected with ethernet to my Rogers modem, and I also have an eero 6+ gateway here too. I already tried connecting via the eero and then turning on sQm but it did not work. This is my modem down below:

If anyone could help me I would appreciate it!

P.S. Claude ai on maximum effort mode did not help very much, so don't beat yourself up if you can't find the solution either.
