I have a 100 Mbit line from my ISP when I checking speed via MK and the integrated bandwidth test so all OK but when I download something from net via Chrome I never get more than 10.5 MB/s which is about 80 Mbit+, I don’t understand where 20 Mbit is lost to me. Whole my LAN is built on 1 Gbit, when I copy inside the network, for example within NAS, etc., so everything goes around 900+ Mbit, so there will be no problem in PC. Do not know what a problem can be? Firewall rules have default.
If speed tests are coming back fine then it’s probably not your router and is probably the website you are downloading from can’t upload fast enough for you.
Try to download something big with torrent or any “mass downloader” to avoid saturating source server.
I have just downloaded AutoCAD installer with their donwloader via RB3011 with speed up to 50MB/s … Mbytes not Mbits.
If there is speed mismatch like 1gbit to 100mbit links, and flow control is enabled, L2 device may send pause frames and that may decrease network throughput.
Avoid using flow ctrl, tcp handles that stuff best.
What is the latency to the server? If high (due to number of hops or physical distance) it could be the TCP window size causing the bandwidth to effectively drop. Try downloading numerous files simultaneously from different servers, add up the bandwidths, and see if you now get the 100Mb/s. Remember that the TCP window size effectuvely limits bandwidth per connection. Therefore by spawning numerous connections, the limitation will be applied to each connection, diminishing its effects. I have this problem quite frequently when I try to download large files from a single connection accross continents… Kind regards
