I’ve not seen this addressed online and am very curious as to what may be going on.
I have a 1 Gbps symmetric fiber connection to my home, but my WiFi upload speeds are always half of the download speed or a little less, i.e. 400 down/125 up. This has been true ever since I got the fiber connection. It doesn’t matter which WiFi system I use, whether its the provider’s system, Netgear Orbi, Linksys Velop, or ASUS XT8. They all perform more or less the same with the upload speed being significantly less than the download speed.
A hardwired connection always provides me with a symmetric upload and download speed, so I know that the overall connection is functioning as it should, it’s just the WiFi that shows this kind of imbalanced result.
So, my question is, is there something inherent in the WiFi specifications or implementations that causes this apparently inherent difference in speeds?
Thanks for any enlightenment that you can provide!
