Internet Download Speeds
Sorry that this will be simple for most of you. I'm trying to determine if I've done everything I can to get the maximum download speed relative to what I'm paying for. The basics are: Xfinity 1.2...

My brand new Dell all-in-one computer (Inspiron 24 5000) is connected wirelessly. It consistently shows download speeds (using Ookla) in the 400s.
This is probably normal. I see 400 to 500 Mbps realistic speeds over wireless as measured by speedtest. Wireless speeds are slower than wired due to network overhead, encryption, etc. Do not compare with the link speed (theoretical maximum).
Same here with my 900/400 ISP plan, I get up to 800 on my hard wired Mac, 500 or less when I switch to WiFi. Most I have had on my iphone12 pro is 633 but average is 400.
