Have you ever struggled to measure the true speed of your internet?
Each router is different, and additionally, WiFi wireless networks come in different standards, on different frequencies and offering different speeds depending on external factors.
If our computer has a card that only supports 2.4GHz at a speed of 54Mbps, we can have 100, 200 or more Mbps, and we will not go faster than 54Mbps.
Some 2.4GHz networks can even offer 300Mbps. In the case of 5GHz and speeds go up significantly. This does not mean that we are always able to achieve the offered speed.
If we have 3 devices that actively use the WiFi network, the network capacity, i.e. the maximum speeds we can achieve, is also divided by three.
Therefore, to properly measure the internet speed, you would need to connect directly, preferably by cable, to the router and be the only user for whom the entire bandwidth would be available.
If you have a router with OpenWrt software, you can measure the connection speed directly from the router, bypassing all users.
