Uneaqual broadband speeds

I have 2 PC's on my desktop 1 Win11, with a cable direct to the router or a wireless connection.1 Win10, with a wireless connection to the same router. all wifi is version 5.. the router has 100 mbps connection with quickline.

When I run Ookla speed test the win10 machine always returns speed results twice that of the win11 with either cable or wifi. the win11 pc is noticeably slower on the internet

Does anyone have any idea why, are there settings i can change to correct thei

Possibly whatever antivirus that's running/limping on the PC...

no extra av on win11 pc only windows security

How high is the processor running during the speed test?

amd gx 212JC SOC with Radon r2e graphics. it is at 100% during the test and swinging between 24 and 65 much of the time, when nothing is happening.

I am assuming that Win 11 is too much for this pc

In reply to a post by WistowGraham:

it is at 100% during the test

... which shows that the CPU is the bottleneck. Is this a browser-based test? Try starting the test, immediately switching to another tab, and switching back again after the test has completed.

What you have is an extremely low-power, low-performance CPU:

You may find that running Linux on it performs much better than Win 10/11. You can always boot from an Ubuntu live USB stick to try it out.

Thanks for all of the replies, I am trying to use this PC to control a laser and CNC cutter but the software wont run on linux even using Wine so i am stuck with Windows, I will have to go back and try Win7

It will work fine. Why do you need the fastest possible Internet download speeds on this laser cutter?? Just use it for its job, let the downloads take a little longer, and move on.

Don't even think about Windows 7 unless you're going to completely disconnect it from the Internet - in which case, broadband download speeds become irrelevant anyway.

Thanks for bringing this up, I got distracted about the internet speed. I started looking at why the speed was slow and started going down the rabbit hole. I don't need fast speeds for the cutter in fact most of the time the pc is not online and connected

Sorry to partly hijack your question, but would you mind helping me with some info?

I also have a 100 Mb/sec Quickline conection, and for several months it has been pretty [censored], with several outages, but it has been consistently poor on the BQM graphs.

Then, when they were doing some planned network maintenance, on the 8th and 9th of March the connection was good. For 24 hours. Then it went back to being pretty [censored]. Here's the BQM graph of that day. The red bit is there because the IP had changed and I'd not changed the BQM IP.

Quickline Graph 9 March

I'd really like to know whether the "good" or the "pretty [censored]" is what other people get. Would you mind sharing a BQM graph of your Quickine connection working normally?
