Wired connection speed slower than Wifi Speed

 

 

 

I just purchased the Orbi Wifi system after having an ASUS AC5300 hoping to get better Wifi range which I did, but the problem is the wired connection download speed while performing a speedtest. I'm getting better results over Wifi than wired, why is this happening?

Just tried again and it's working just fine, a mod can close this.

Re: Wired connection speed slower than Wifi Speed

one of 2 things could be happening

 

ether the ethernet adapter in that device is only 100/10M or the ethernet cable is not right

 

i assume you plan speed is 100/40M

 

i assume you are in the states and are using the same server in NY for your tests

I did find when I restarted my computer I got better speeds, but not exactly what I pay for.

 

I pay for 110 down and 35 up

 

It starts off strong then just tanks into the 30-40's
