| 1404922 | 2015-07-15 12:20:00 | Performed speedtest (speedtest.net) on two different PCs both running Win8.1 x64. Both PCs are connected to the Router by Cat5e Ethernet cable (< 5 m in length) within a small room. PC No. 1 achieved ~86 Mbps down whereas, PC No. 2 achieved only 46 Mbps down; upload speeds are about the same. All tests were using the same server. Why is it so? |

| 1404925 | 2015-07-15 23:53:00 | By any chance is one of them also running through a switch ? If I test here on the office PC its faster then the workshop or lounge. The workshop & lounge goes through a couple of switches which is where the "slowness" is. Direct connection to the Router is 130 Mbps, where as Workshop /Lounge is 70 - 90 Mbps |

| 1404931 | 2015-07-16 02:18:00 | At that kind of speed WiFi can affect the speed too. My tablet gets ~30 down on WiFi but jumps to the full 100 down if I use an Ethernet adapter. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
