I know my ISP's speed is down ..... less than I am paying for ..... as evidenced by testing on multiple broadband speed sites on the internet. My ISP refuses to accept my complaints as the measurements were made thru my Netgear Wi-Fi access point. I also am using a smart phone, a smart tv and a wireless printer on the same Wi-Fi network and they are functioning well. My understanding is that practically all Android devices including the phones allow you to make such measurements using a simple adapter cable. Yet, neither Microsoft or HP has seen fit to provide software that will allow me to make measurements thru either one of the two USB 3.0 ports or the Micro HDMI port. Anybody have any ideas ? It seems ridiculous to me that this ability should be standard on any device that calls itself a notebook computer. Thanks for any help.

WiFi is very unreliable, especially for high speeds. Your ISP is right to refuse to listen to speedtests conducted over WiFi.

You'll need a USB to Ethernet adapter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07R1Y30822

Most laptops without an ethernet jack come with such an adapter, but few tablets do. It's relatively rare for people to only have tablets.

I don't think many android devices support USB-Ethernet bridges; the drivers aren't there for it. Windows machines should, though.

The 'on-line" tech at HP, used logmein to explore my computer and simply said that my device did not support such an operation ..... I saw he was taking a look at the drivers ....... I found something in Device Manager under Network Adapters called "ASIX AX88772A USB 2.0 to Fast Ethernet Connector" but it is not "Connected" ....... I just don't want to damage the computer by putting a signal into the USB port that is not supported .......
