Who do we believe speed wise then Samknows or Speedtest 🤷🏼♂️

Samknows tells you your speed to the hub, speed test tells you the speed to your device

Yes I’m aware of that but Samknows has speed to the PC at 485Mbps but a Speedtest always reads about 850-900Mbps 🤷🏼♂️

would probably all depend on what server is being used for the speedtest, CPU usage, WiFi interference at the time of test etc

I’d trust the Speedtest results every single time.

Samknows on the right is displaying the speed of the download running through a browser while Ookla is an effiecient app.
I always find browser tests to be much less than others - and different browsers will give a wide range of readings too.
I've been able to get 900Mbps on the PCF side in Edge after closing everything else on my PC. I suspect a lot of this variation is device dependent.

Hi there @SVTCOL
Thank you so much for your post and I am so sorry that you have gotten these varied speed test results.
Can I ask if you are noticing any issues at all with your services?
Thank you.

No real issues as such just questions around the low speed reporting by Samknows to the PC compared to Speedtest via the app and on the Speedtest webpage. Seems a big drop from router to PC via a cat8 cable and a 10Gbps network card 🤷🏼♂️

No problem and I'm glad there are no real issues but I am still sorry to see this drop in speed.
Have you been able to try a speed test on this device with another Ethernet cable just in case?
Thank you.
