App Nighthawk Speed test
hi, wanted to know if it happens to you too that the Nighthawk app detects much higher wifi speed measurements than other wifi speed tests? Precisely on the Nighthawk app I reach 820/800 mb, while on ...
When you test the speed using the nighthawk or orbi app, it actually hosts the test on the router. Not on the device you're testing on.
So its going to be closure to a wired speed.
When you test with the speedtest app, it hosts the device on the device you're testing on. So if the bottleneck is the wireless connection (which at fast enough speeds it is) that'll be the speed from device--->router
Thanks for the reply. ☺️
