@Mrksmit an internet speed test returns the speed of the slowest part of the link between the rdmote server and your device. This is often to connection between the hub and the device you are running the test on. If the device is connected by WiFi that link is almost certainly the iissue. WiFi speeds are determined by the layout and type of construction of your home plus the level of interference.

 

To get a reliable speed test you have to use a device connected to the hub by a known fat link which in practice is a gigabit direct Ethernet connection wiith no other devices connected. Thst last point is important as devices not in use are often using bandwidth to update etc.
