Upgrading my internet connection from 20 to 200 mbit/s I wondered why the speed test showed 96 mbit/s when measuring cabled with WiFi turned of.
Contacting service desk they asked if my laptop could communicate faster? Using my new Dell job laptop for a speed test on WiFi showed 200 mbit/s and I have to realise that I might not get the full value for money on my old laptop.
Searching in this forum gave me two results - either the driver settings can be changed or the network card is just too old.
I hope I can get advice for the first option but are ready to accept the second.
Below I have copied a standard report - hope it can reveal it.
