Wired network slow. reading 800mbps, not getting not getting more than 72 in use

[BeenBarron]

I recently updated my home network system since I got a Synology ds1522+ for video editing. But a bonus I was excited about was being able to fully utilize the 800 down I pay for from Xfinity. However, when I got the system up and running I noticed that whenever I download anything I can get it to go faster than 72mbps.

 

Testmy.net was giving me a top download of 923mbps

the 3 tests I've done downloading have been from:

WeTransfer: 18mbps

Google Drive: 69mbps

Steam: 79mbps

 

My system is a NETGEAR - Nighthawk 32 x 8 -> google wifi router -> NETGEAR Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308)

all wiring is cat6.

 

Im kinda stumped as to why my speeds aren't lining up.

Any suggestions?

800mb = 100MB so adding flucuations, bandwith caps and margin of error 80MB/s sounds about right.

Ok... that's really good to know. Just making sure I'm getting the most out of what I have.

 

Thank you sir

Don't forget to "mark solved" by that person. They deserve the credits.
