Internet Speeds tend to fluxilate ... What speed are you suppose to be getting from your ISP ?
In the Windows reading did you get that from the Task Manager ...
If so that seems to be on the Connection Speed ...
Do a Test online ... All tests are only a guide ....
It is about the speed between the computer and router.
Simple. Download some file from the net, note what size the files has and time how long it takes.
1 Mbps = 125 Kilobytes per second.
Should be easy enough to calculate.
Some browsers/download managers do that automatically for you. For example the old Opera (presto) indicates the rate after a file stopped downloading. But the modern, dumbed down browsers might not do that, so lauch windows calculator and do it yourself if you have to :P
But I would trust Windows more than the router.
And this Data Rate WILL be the speed between router/wifi adapter. Your global speed is limited by the slowest, which I'm pretty sure is the wifi connection.
