Used an Ethernet cable? That’s not an impressive throughput amount over local. WiFi has like a million more sources of perf bottlenecks. Btw, just using a cable on ONE of the device => router ~> device can help a lot.
- dmos62 3y agoYeah, I did that. One of the devices didn't have an ethernet port though.
- klabb3 3y agoIf it’s a MacBook you can get Ethernet - USB-C adapters for dirt cheap. Otherwise, you have to move closer to the router and/or get a new router/wifi card if it’s running old 2g stuff for instance. But again, WiFi is headache - especially since many parameters are outside your control (like nearby airports, neighbors, layout of your home, to name a few lol).
