Furthermore, I thought your concern was about your Wifi speed, in which measuring your Internet speed with a Speedtest link isn't telling you anything useful. You need to measure the actual transfer rate between two hosts on your local network, e.g. by timing a large (multi- gigabyte) file copy. If there is a significant difference between Linux and Windows when doing this, then it's time to investigate further. If possible, try both Windows-Windows and Linux-Linux, and make sure the rest of the network is quiescent during the test. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
