Verify the Steam download server position for your area and assess potential improvements.
The default setting for Steam downloads is in megabytes, but internet speed is measured in megabits. It remains relatively slow on a gigabit connection, with speeds typically around 50-60MB/s. Browser downloads also tend to be in MB, though factors like location and server load can affect the actual size. You asked about testing on a phone or another device—were you downloading from the same site and in the same area during the comparison? When checking Network & Internet Settings, click on the adapter, right-click it, and verify the link speed shows 100Mbps or 1.0Gbps. What router model do you have?
Hi there! I understand this took a while to get through. I've checked the same site on my laptop and all-in-one device in different locations at home, both wired and wireless. I also moved my router—though it doesn’t affect speeds elsewhere, it actually improves them. For wireless, the speed listed in the control panel is 866Mbps. Here’s the link to your router: https://www.amazon.com/Dual-Band-support...amp;sr=8-8 Thanks for the update!
