If your speed is below the median

1. Test over Ethernet, not Wi-Fi. Plug directly into the router.
2. Pause other devices during the test — streaming, updates, cloud sync.
3. Repeat the test at different times of day (peak: 7–11 PM).
4. Document multiple measurements — and contact your ISP if the gap is consistent.
