Is the Verizon one a combined modem/router? If you want to add your own router, you might have to call them and ask them to put it into bridged mode. I like OpenWRT because it gives you a lot of customization options. I've just been running it on an old TP-Link Archer C7 for the past 5 years or so and I haven't had any issues, but that's ancient hardware now. Source: 11 months ago
On windows I have installed a program called NetBalancer. The paid version allows you to limit bandwidth usage of any application. With the free version all you can do is monitor, but I found it very useful. I could at least know why sometimes my internet was slow, most of the time was because windows was updating, or another application. Source: almost 3 years ago
I am going to be playing around with a couple different tools such as Net Balancer that I found and see which one is the easiest to use.
