fast speed tests but slowish performance


[link to this post]
 
I'm puzzled a bit with this. I'm on 900mpbs product and web based various speed tests always show me 500-800mbps speed (on wired connection), however its doesn't feel like it in normal use. I use Openwrt router so so I ran iperf3 from it to servers all over the world and its always flat 100mpbs (any time of the day/night). Looks like a throttled maximum somewhere. I'm sure this was not the case a year ago when i switched onto this product, but I don't know when this started as web based tests always were good. Anyone experienced this?

P.S. I also tried downloading very large files from test sites (like hetzner) and its seems 100mbps maximum is there as well.

What equipment are you using to run the tests, how is connected to your router and does it show a connection speed? A Windows 10 Control Panel Network Connections page should show you the speed of a physical connection if you click it.
