Upload Faster Than Download?

[Kurt D]

I know most people would be happy to have this problem... It is not really causing an issue, but I am curious to understand why this is happening. I have gigabit fiber service. I am connecting wireless to the gateway. The connection speed listed under network settings is 877mbs (sounds about right). When I run an actual speed test my download speed is around 500mbs and my upload speed is about 600mbs. What would cause the disparity between download and upload speeds? I use a TP-Link T9E AC1900 adapter on a Windows 10 machine. Is there some tweak to my network or adapter settings that I should make? Networking is not my forte...

Thanks,
Kurt

That is not a huge difference, how many times and during what periods have you tested the speeds? Do not use the wireless adapter to test, use an Ethernet cable. Test it a few times a day over a week and see if it changes. Fist step is to contact the ISP and check with them. Then reboot the router and modem, look for a firmware update to the router, and see if your modem is the current one for your speed package from the ISP, they may be able to update you.
