Which bandwidth?

[Tubbie.t]

Hi,

I'm a little confused about the bandwidth I should set?. I'm on sky fibre 50dw/20up. I don't get that, at best I get 35dw/10up. Now the latter is a HARD WIRE result. On a WIRELESS test I get (best) 21dw/8up. The only time I use a Hardwire is when I game (ps4/xbox1) . All other devices in my home are wireless. Which result should I use to set bandwidth. The Hardwire or the wireless. Thanking you ....

In the bandwidth it should be what you get when testing with your "final" setup

 

So Modem <-> R1 go to http://speedtest.netand run a test, then just type in the numbers.

 

Enjoy

Hi,

So your saying when I game I enter the Hardwire result, when I'm not i use the wireless?

Run the test 1 time with nothing downloading or doing anything from a hard wired pc. Enter the results unless you change your internet speed or move you shouldn't need to touch those numbers again.
