Why is my ethernet so slow?
What's your internet speed? 2.1MB/s equals roughly 16Mbps, which is the rate your ISP will advertise.
Your computer is equipped with a mid-range processor, a solid-state drive, and a decent graphics card. The motherboard supports a standard Ethernet card and runs on the latest chipset for reliable connectivity. You're using a Wi-Fi 6 router for wireless networking, and your modem is connected via a fiber-optic cable to a high-speed internet service provider. The connection speed you're experiencing is approximately 20 megabits per second, which aligns with the advertised 1 to 2 megabytes per second range. Everything seems set up for smooth performance.
It might be the server speed you're using. You also have the same download rate as others, but sometimes it doesn't reach because of other slow connections on the internet.
This speed depends on the slowest part of your setup, usually the download source. You notice this often after new games or updates and when many people try to get everything at once. Sometimes older data moves to slower servers, and other times you just don’t understand the reasons.
