Do you have any suggestions as to which site to use when testing off of a PC?

speedtest . net (try different servers on there, not just one)
fast.com
dslreports
all of them have speedtests. and when you get above a certain speed even they struggle to saturate speeds.

Tested several sites with the WIRED connection to my PC. All was well and meeting the right speeds.
The WIRELESS connection is what is not meeting the optimal speeds I'm paying for.The router is located in the middle of my home and no matter where I am in it, the speeds are between 80 and 100 mbps. I am paying for 200 Mpbs for now since I have a small household of just 2 people.
What else can I do?- plemansMar 11, 2022Guru - Experienced User
did you try changing the wifi channel you're testing on?
Or try a factory reset/reinstall?
