So, I've noticed considerable differences between my computer download speeds on Steam compared to my Wife's computer. I am hovering around 11.8 MB/s and she is hovering around 27 MB/s. We are both on the same cat6 cable on the same router/modem setup. I'm just trying to pinpoint how, if at all possible, I might reach similar speeds as her. I suppose it could be that my Ethernet Port is just not up to snuff but I'm not sure compared to her machine. I did try and see if I had any type of network limit on my steam version but that was not enabled. This is mostly just out-of-the-box. I am not entirely sure if I changed anything in the router or not. Thanks for the help!
