    No it will not affect download speed Windows 10 will use only one of the connections for downloading.

    Your Download speed depends on your Modem, and the service of your ISP.
    The Modem is usually part of the Modem/Router/Wireless Access Point box, often called "Router" for short.

    Your Local Network speed has nothing to do with Internet download speeds.
    If you have two Local Network connections to your Router then the fastest connection will be used. It won't double.
