Steam has the ability to limit the bandwidth used right in the settings. And you can limit the bandwidth on Netflix as well. Does your son have a 4K monitor? If yes Netflix or even YouTube, for eligible videos, may try push 4K content which takes more bandwidth.
On Steam:
For adjusting data used for Netflix, see instructions on their website. Netflix's HD streams are only 3mbps so they don't use much by default.

What modem/router do you currently have? Do you have an extender? What does a speedtest show you? The Actionec is rather limited on advanced features, as an example QoS.
I bridge my router and use my own router for more features and control of my network.

I noticed when I started to use the 5ghz band.... it works faster than the congested 2.4ghz band.
Another option.... Ethernet connect yourself to the modem to avoid the congested wifi signals.
