Hey all-- on wifi, I’m getting 477 mbps down, 330mbps up with a 9ms ping on speed test dot net.

On ethernet, I’m getting double that: 916 mbps down, 882 mbps up with a 4 ms ping.

But those data points don’t tell the whole story. While those results would lead me to believe I’d get better real world performance via ethernet streaming video and browsing social media platforms like X, that’s not what is happening.

When connected via ethernet, videos are buffering and images on X aren’t loading. When connected via wifi, it’s a much better internet experience without the buffering.

What could be the cause of poor real world internet performance on ethernet and better performance on wifi?

Thanks!

    Bad cable.

    Tcp works cause of error correction (speed test).

    Udp do not work, cause no error correction.

    You didnt play with values like mtu etc right?

      Didn’t play with any values etc.

      I’m a bit of noob. TCP? UDP?
