Being here under "shelter in place" decided to fool around with my computer stuff.

 

I have a 300 Mbps Comcast download service.

 

My connection test is Comcast to Modem to Router to desktop iMac.

 

When connection directly Modem to iMac via ethernet cable I get close to 300Mbps, measure 260 Mbps.

 

iMac Ethernet connected to a router port I measure about 210 Mbps.

 

And Wireless connection to iMac from router eithe 5 or 2.4 network I measure about 193 Mbps.

 

All my equipment is spec'ed to handle speeds much greater than 300Mbps.

 

Any ideas on why I am not getting the full download speeds.

 

Thanks

Comcast lists that modem for speeds up to 268 Mbps;

Sounds like the bottleneck is with your router. Are there any QoS settings enabled in your router ? If so, try disabling them and see.

Thanks good modem information.
