Identify how much data is lost during downloads through your router.
Hello, networking background: basic skills in router login and surface configuration. Rural internet setup: 25Mbps down / 3Mbps up. Router model: Linksys Velop Mesh with three nodes—one parent, one wired child, one wireless child. Recently upgraded to a higher plan from Xplornet (10MB/1MB). Testing shows advertised speeds of 25 down / 3 up, but actual Ethernet PC results are 8-12 down / 3 up. No prior issues with this configuration before the service change. Router settings seem standard. Any suggestions? Thanks! Linksys Speed Test.pdf Ookla Speed Test.pdf
Linksys Velop Parent Hub > Linksys Velop Child Hub > D-Link 4-way Ethernet router (roughly 100 feet distant) > the device I evaluated from
Attempted multiple methods, each yielding around 10 down and 3 up. Ran several speed tests using Wi-Fi-connected phone, also recorded similar numbers.
I considered resetting the router to its original settings and starting fresh, but tried to skip that step.
I just checked the details about the Linksys Velop and how its access points are linked.
The main unit or hub is connected to the internet, while the other nodes act as access points. I have one node linked directly to the parent in the basement (roughly 100 feet on Ethernet), and another node that's wireless (about 50 feet away). Together they form a complete home Wi-Fi network. It has performed reliably, providing strong coverage throughout the house.
