I have a 4G router from my network provider that offers 300N connection, this one connected to an access point that offers AC WiFi and gigabit Ethernet via CAT6 cable. My internet speed is very slow but i thought maybe my ISP is giving me bad connection. However i noticed lately that my download speed on my computer or mobile is a value different that that on my router (My router has its own live Uplink/Downlink speed that shows when u log into router settings.)
For example download speed on computer is like 100 kb/s and on my router it shows 1.3 Mb/s.
First i thought maybe something on my network is making traffic and slowing down my internet speed, but when i pause my download, speed on router comes down to 1 or 2 kb/s which is the normal traffic of background apps i think.
can anyone help please, thanks
 
Solution
based off of what your saying its could just be different units. I bet your router is using bits and your computer bytes as the measurement. there's 8 bits in a byte and 1.3 Mega bits is equal to 160 kilo bytes. speedtest.net fyi is a good test site to see what your internet provider is actually providing.
