Download speed

[Sauzee]

I have a fire stick 4k max and I had to buy a wired extension as on WiFi Luna games were glitching. Even with a wired connection the download speed seems to be 88 with speed tests.

I also have a wired connection on sky q box but all apps glitch and sound cuts out on netflix YouTube them all. That's why I upgraded 

The WiFi speed test seems reasonable though when doing to from my phone as on fast.com it shows 400 Mbps. 

So unsure what is happening as I would expect a wired connection to be on a par with that?

That said I am sitting right next to router but if I go upstairs the wired speed on fast.com drops to around 100

The firestick 4k only has a ethernet chipset of 100Mbps but 4k only requires 25Mbps but in your case stability is more important that speed.

For true ethernet speed use a laptop etherneted via at least a category 5e cable

Is that the same with the sky Q box? There is a limit? 

I will try a laptop to make sure thanks

@Sauzee 

Which version sky q box do you have. V1, V2 or V3?

Is it hdr capable?

I think q boxes v2 and v3 or gigabit

I am afraid that one has 100Mbps ports
