WiFi offers quicker connectivity compared to cable in many scenarios.
WiFi offers quicker connectivity compared to cable in many scenarios.
The issue appears to stem from your phone's WiFi performance, possibly due to the switch/router, ethernet cable, or your computer's network card. Could you provide the model numbers of your network devices? Also, check what Windows reports about your network card's speed in the attached image. Make sure the cable isn't damaged—examine its label to confirm the ethernet type. Ethernet speed doesn't always equate to gigabit capability; for example, Cat5 can range from 10Mbps to 100Mbps, while Cat5e supports up to 1Gbps. Any interference within the cable can still reduce performance.
That's the Huawei 5G CPE? What rates are you receiving from your ISP? For cellular-based connections, 5G speeds can change based on network traffic, even with more bandwidth available. You need to be near a 5G antenna for reliable performance because the signal has a shorter wavelength. When you checked your phone's WiFi speed, did you disable cellular data? Also, try another port on the CPE and use a different cable than the one in the box.
I tried a new approach by installing Windows on a USB drive and booting everything. Everything worked the same as before, except for the router cable and the SSD. My Windows USB got 900MB, while my SSD only had 70MB. It seems the issue might be related to software rather than hardware or cables.
