Ethernet vs Wi‑Fi speed test
Run this twice: once on Wi‑Fi, once with a cable. Your history below keeps both. If wired is near your plan and Wi‑Fi isn't, the fix is your router or its placement — not your provider.

Questions about this test
How much faster is Ethernet?
On a gigabit plan a cable gives ~940 Mbps with ~1 ms added latency; good Wi‑Fi 6/6E/7 gives 600–900 Mbps nearby and far less through walls, plus more jitter.
My laptop has no Ethernet port — what now?
A USB‑C to 2.5 GbE adapter costs about $20–30 and gives you the true wired number.
Wired is slow too — now what?
Try another cable (Cat 5e or better) and port, restart modem then router, and test at a quiet time. If still low, the provider needs to look at the line.
