Good day all,
So I am on my uni internet and there is this weird thing that I want to ask u
I have Ethernet line from them , speed of 80MB/sec = 10mb/sec roughly .
And I have connectify hotspot for my phone .
I downloaded a sample video (20mb) and I am getting roughly 0.25mb/sec on my laptop and 10mb/s ( instantly downloads ) on my mobile for the same video.
I tried it on my roommates port , and the study room port and it's the same .
Would anyone suggest a solution to this

note: speedtest shows 80MB download on both devices.

Summary: wireless is faster than wired - correct?

I would start by trying a different known working ethernet cable.

If no difference or change then there could be a problem within the uni's wired network or at least your part of it.
