Hello,
I have a Leap 42.2 desktop with a Ralink RT2800 PCI 802.11n Wi-FI card. I have recently upgraded my broadband download speed to 40 Mbps and was testing speeds. Unfortunately, I do not have a patch cord that would reach from the desktop to the modem/router. I use speedtest.net. Only 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi is now enabled on the modem (but I can enable 5 GHz).
What I get, in the same geographical position across one internal wall from the modem/router, is:
- On an Android phone and on a Windows 10 Toshiba laptop, about 35 MBps, which sounds about right for this Internet connection.
- On a Windows 7 Lenovo laptop, initially 20-22 MBps. After updating the Wi-Fi driver, 24 MBps; disabling MIMO power save, 25 MBps. This increases to about 35MBps when I connect it to the modem with a patch cord.
- On the Leap desktop using speedtest-cli, 25-27 Mbit/s.
- On the Leap desktop using Chrome or Firefox, about 12 Mbps!
Well, this can happen if the speedtest is local to the provider, while the download is not. Try a download using wget, for instance. You should also test file downloads on the other machines. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
