Why Netgear Nethawk app is cheating on speedtest?
Why Netgear is cheating in its speed test in the Nethawk mobile app ?
On the mobile phone I get 200Mbit down and 100 Mbit up, but there it is not possible to get to such speeds on PC wired directly to router.
Nethawk app is just using short bursts of data that is why maybe how they achive such results, its CHEATING. Graphs on the router show only up to 1Mb/s Up or down during cheated test. When using real speedtest.net test it goes up to 65-80 Mb/s as it should.
Screen from app below and link to REAL speedtest.

Re: Why Netgear Nethawk app is cheating on speedtest?
Normal people call this marketing b******t.
The app states that it is measuring my internet. Which is tops 60-80Mb/s (sometimes maxed to 100Mb/s because of other problems my XR300 router has). No QoS enabled. Never got to 120Mb/s with all other speed testing apps/sites. How can you measure my internet speed never even sending more than few hundres kilobytes of data at once?
