RBR20 real slow with broadcom 802.11n network adapter, below 1Mbps in average

this is real slow, speedtest is telling no better than 1Mbps -5Mbps, youtube and webpage loading has laggging very noticeble and/or no response, while LAN cable for used is showing 93Mbps, no any problem on youtube, two different PCs with win10, both the same experience, and same Broadcom 802.11n WIFI adapter. To uses iphone, speedtest is show 200Mbps above always, why is that ?

Can you please provide the model number of the Broadcom adapter?

It is surprising that a PC wired with ethernet would show a lower SpeedTest than an iPhone over WiFi.

RBR20 should be with latest firmware version V2.5.1.16 already, no more update was found.
