Curious, how does distance from the router/modem come into play?
If radio waves (WIFI) and electrons (cable) travel at the speed of light, I wouldn't think 2 feet or 200 feet would make much of a difference in time delay.

Now the data through the router by WIFI being encrypted definitely would slow things down.

The speed of light is 983,568,960 feet per second....
or about 1.017e-9 seconds per foot. (.000000001 seconds)
So 200 feet would be 2.034e-7 seconds. (.0000002 seconds)

Strength of the signal from a wifi modem/router diminishes inversely to the distance from the router (same as light intensity). Otherwise you could pick up the signal anywhere is a straight line at any distance. The receiver relies on strength of signal as a function of speed of interpretation. That's why boosters exist.

Oops. I get 1.3 GHz download speed and 43 Mbps upload speed.

Um, shouldn't the download speed be in Mbps also?

Are you getting that via WiFi or wired directly to modem or router... WiFi connection will vary based on several factors and may not be a true measure of the speed your ISP is making available to you.

Exactly!
Encrypted WIFI takes longer.

I used to have Verizon Fios but Verizon is getting out of the fiber business so they sold that business to Frontier in my State. The speed is good with Frontier but their customer service sucks.

I've been keeping track on a spreadsheet for years and use a variety of sites.
I doubt I need anything near these reported speeds. Lot's of variables when hooking up to a web site.

I love it, especially since I use mine so much for making and selling paintings and greeting cards.

Yeah but I can't get ATT fiber where I live. I think either ATT fiber or Google fiber is good.
