RBR20 real slow with broadcom 802.11n network adapter, below 1Mbps in average

this is real slow, speedtest is telling no better than 1Mbps -5Mbps, youtube and webpage loading has laggging very noticeble and/or no response, while LAN cable for used is showing 93Mbps, no any pro...

Can you please provide the model number of the Broadcom adapter?

It is surprising that a PC wired with ethernet would show a lower SpeedTest than an iPhone over WiFi.

      RBR20 should be with latest firmware version V2.5.1.16 already, no more update was found.
