Other devices connected to your LAN may or may not require the capacity of your internet like a Zoom video call.
Your ISP (Spectrum) modem has to have a tag on it as required by the FCC. Possibly on the very bottom!
How do Ookla speed tests run from your ethernet connected PC, both upload and download, compare to the capacity tier you are purchasing from your ISP?
Possible areas of concern:
Your coax connection that supplies your modem. (grounding, bad connections, splitters, etc.)
Is your modem also a combination modem/router device? (back to that FCC tag with device manufacturer and model number)
The firmware version on your router.
Ethernet cables/connections.
The configuration of the router relative to domain name servers (DNS) and some of the Netgear bells and whistles features such as quality of service (QOS), traffic monitoring, UPnP, IPv6, and etc.
My Ookla speed test on the pc which is hard wired to router:
ping 16, Download 96.1, Upload 10.14
I also ran it on my iphone which is on wifi through the router
Ping 20, Upload 237.53, it does not show an upload speed. Shouldn't it show ul speed?
Ping 16 DL 96.1 Mbps and UL 10.14Mbps on my pc are probably all I really, but I have to ask why is my DL speed much faster on my phone which is connected only by wifi, than my pc which it directly connected with an ethernet cable? Also why don't i show an up load speed on the phone speed test?
Thanks again.
