I'm having a weird issue with my internet speed. I've got an Asus wireless adapter on my PC, and when I test other devices connected to the same WiFi network, they get speeds between 600 and 750 Mbps, which matches my plan for 1,100 Mbps. My PC's connection capability according to the Asus software is also over 700 Mbps. However, when I run speed tests, I keep getting results under 70 Mbps, which is way too low. I know to expect some variation, maybe around 10%, but this is ridiculous! I've checked that there's no firewall blocking anything and my network is set to private, not metered, and I have no VPNs running. I would include screenshots, but I can't upload them right now.

Have you checked if you're mixing up megabytes (MB) and megabits (Mbps)? Sometimes that difference can really throw off your results. If you're seeing a speed of 600 Mbps, that technically converts to 75 MB, which might be what you're experiencing on speed tests. Just a thought!
Another thing to consider is interference. If you're in a crowded area or near a lot of other electronic devices, it might be causing slowdowns. Try changing your WiFi channel in the router settings to see if it improves your speeds.
You might also want to update your wireless adapter's drivers. Old drivers can lead to performance issues. Check the Asus website for the latest updates and see if that helps improve your speed.
