Why Netgear Nethawk app is cheating on speedtest?
Why Netgear is cheating in its speed test in the Nethawk mobile app ? On the mobile phone I get 200Mbit down and 100 Mbit up, but there it is not possible to get to such speeds on PC wired directly ...
Here it is:
It's likely they are different as the mobile app is testing the speeds directly from the router to the server rather than the manual test you do is from the device to the router to the server so there are extra variables that can affect the connection. Have you changed any QoS settings?
Normal people call this marketing b******t.
The app states that it is measuring my internet. Which is tops 60-80Mb/s (sometimes maxed to 100Mb/s because of other problems my XR300 router has). No QoS enabled. Never got to 120Mb/s with all other speed testing apps/sites. How can you measure my internet speed never even sending more than few hundres kilobytes of data at once?
- That's your opinion, I'm just telling you why the speeds will differ. What are the speeds you actually pay for? Disable QoS entirely in the Anti-Bufferbloat 3 line option menu in the top left of the panel and see if there is an improvement.
