Phone Slows down Internet

Hello,


My Sony Xperia Z1 has been acting up lately. 

Everytime I connect it to my WiFi it slows it down dramatically, from 30 ping to 50-200ping~ (unstable).

I have turned off auto sync and auto back up on the phone but it keeps happening. 

I know it's the phone because once I turn off its WiFi, internet speeds go back to normal.

I'm sure I have nothing downloading in the background as well.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Do you have any task killers or battery savers?They usually slow down the phone.Also antivirus does it.

It happens even with my z3c. From 2 weeks ago all my internet connection was going very slow. Also on my mac. After a lot of struggling, my internet provider found that the mobile phone when connected at the wifi, was uploading a lot lowering dramatically the download speed. Most probably the guilty is an app. I think is one of these 2: auto sync or antivirus...... Still unsure which one

Go to wifi and go to advanced settings then don't turn off wifi optimization 

Settings > Wifi > advanced > wifi optimization unticked
