I'm currently running the following setup:
Router: ASUS RT-AC68U
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero
Ethernet Cable: Various cables, tried many
I'm paying for 200mbps from Spectrum in Moscow, ID, and I've always been confused why my internet is so much slower than that. On my desktop, compared to mobile, I have very different speeds.
Desktop
Google Speed Test: 21.5 mbps down
Speedtest by Ookla: 168.26 mbps down
Speed Of Me: 11.54
Mobile
Google Speed Test: 196.8 mbps down
Speedtest by Ookla: 224.49 mbps down
Speed Of Me: 11.47
In the past, to remedy this, I tried updating my ethernet drivers directly from the ASUS site. The installs never worked, not the setup.exe file that is provided, nor the asussetup.exe file that was provided. I once got in contact with a customer service agent who provided me with alternative files which fully broke my ethernet capabilities, after which he quickly peaced out and I had to reinstall my whole damn operating system just to have internet again. Fun times!
I was wondering if anyone on this forum had a better solution. It makes sense to me that Speed Of Me is the same for both devices. But why is Google's speed test, Speedtest by Ookla, and just general day to day usage off by nearly 150mbps?
