Speedtest Irregularity

When I complete a speed test on the ORBI interface/console I get max download and upload speeds.

When I use speedtest.net through a browser which in the past gave me the same results, now drops my download speed by nearly a third of my connection speed

 

I am running on a eithernet connection directly pluged into my orbi hub/router

Can someone explain is this is suppose to be normal with Orbi or is something wrong.

There have been numerous posts comparing Speedtest on the Orbi web interface with Speedtest on a device connected to the Orbi. I, myself, see no difference which may be a consequence of having less "raw speed" to begin with.  Now that gig internet connections are common,this seems to be reported a lot more.  I would say, "disappointing" rather than "something wrong."

What matters, of course, is the actual speed delivered to devices connected to the Orbi.
