Speedtest weirdness
My Orbi gives Speedtest reading of around 50Mb down, but when I run Speedtest on my iPad I get download readings more like 600Mb. The upload readings from the two tests are very close.
The built in speedtest isn't that accurate because of how it chooses test servers. If it chooses the closest server but that server is running slow, you get inaccurate readings.
the one you use off the speedtest app works better and is more accurate.
This seems to have changed recently. I've been using Speedtest on Orbi for several months and never saw this behavior. And why should the Orbi version choose servers any differently than the Speedtest IOS app?
