internet speed problem

hello, I recently bought the A6150, and I am having a problem with the bit rate I am getting. I get big speed difference between a direct connection or a usb connection sharing. knowing that my phone still has a higher speed in wifi only. I do not understand where this difference comes from if someone has an idea I am interrested, I will give you photos of the different speeds in the following order: direct connection, usb connection sharing and the speed obtained by my phone. have a nice day, thanks in advance

    What does that mean? I have no idea what "usb connection sharing" describes.

     

    You will never get a wifi speed that is as good as a wired speed.

     

    The speed of any wifi device is limited by the wifi client.

      when i talk about usb sharing, just i plug my phone on my computer and use the wifi connection sharing with the usb (im not that good in english sorry about that), so that's pretty strange. why when i use the wifi pc to livebox i didn't get the same download and upload as when i use my phone between my pc and my box ? hope it helps
