Outcome of communication between two gadgets linked to identical router varies
I've gathered your setup details and analyzed the situation. The latency differences you're seeing are mainly due to network conditions between the devices and the server. Ping results vary because of factors like distance, router interference, and network congestion, while download/upload speeds are more influenced by the actual data transfer efficiency. Latency is affected by hardware and software settings, such as network drivers, firewall rules, and the quality of the connection. It's likely that your devices are experiencing different network paths or load conditions, causing those variations. Double-check your cables, router placement, and consider using a different testing tool for more consistent results.
This method isn't accurate for measuring latency. The page is too large and the Raspberry is having trouble loading it. Try using CMD prompt or console and typing "ping www.google.com" for a better result.
Use the ping command for faster results. The Raspberry's weaker ARM processor makes software run slower. I notice a quicker connection from the console on my phone versus the Android app. The download and upload speeds are currently at their highest possible, but they don’t show enough detail. If you experience more latency, it will take longer to download big files. For smaller transfers, the difference is barely noticeable. When moving a whole disk between locations, latency becomes much more important than in short tests.
