My download speed has been between roughly.5-5 mps and my upload speed has been at least twice that (8-10 mps) but when I check on my wife's computer downoad is roughly 22 mps and upload is roughly 24.
- Why Uploading Is Slower Than Downloading 05:12 am ET Updated May 25, 2011 If you're like most of the rest of us, the speed at which you upload is way slower than the speed at which you.
- Fetch Help > Using Fetch > Why is uploading slower than downloading? For many users, uploading files is quite a bit slower than downloading files. This is usually normal, because most high-speed Internet connections, including cable modems and DSL, are asymmetric — they are designed to provide much better speed for downloading than uploading.
So I'm having this issue with the really slow download speed and very fast download speed over cable and wifi. The network topology is the following:
Provider router and FO media converter (PON-TECH PT-47RW) in bridge mode =>Asus AC-RT66U router (connected to lan 1 from provider router).
The speed tests I have done are the following:
laptop connected over cable to provider router - (73.44 Mbps download / 72.83 Mbps upload) http://www.speedtest.net/result/6983140310
laptop connected over cable to my asus router - (9.36 Mbps download / 64.59 Mbps upload) http://www.speedtest.net/result/6983164758
laptop connected over wifi to my asus router - (13.19 Mbps download / 42.59 Mbps upload) http://www.speedtest.net/result/6983158870
I have already tried other suggestions from various forums like turning off the firewall or WMM but that didn't help.I have also ran the tests using an old tplink TL-WR940N router and here's what I got:
laptop connected over wifi to my tp link - (21.81 Mbps download / 10.76 Mbps uplpoad) http://www.speedtest.net/result/6983146621
laptop connected over cable to my tp link - (12.51 Mbps download / 10.65 Mbps upload) http://www.speedtest.net/result/6983153018
The download speed over wifi is slighly faster but on cable is the same...
What could the problem be?
Summary
cable provider router - 73.44 Mbps download / 72.83
cable asus router - 9.36 Mbps download / 64.59 Mbps upload
wifi asus router - 13.19 Mbps download / 42.59 Mbps upload
cable tp-link router - 21.81 Mbps download / 10.76 Mbps
wifi tp-link router - 12.51 Mbps download / 10.65 Mbps
My Upload Speed Is Higher Than Downlo…

In your ASUS Router Web Interface, under the Traffic Manager side menu item, is QoS enabled? if so, there are probably upload and download bandwidth fields. This could be the cause of your un-even throughput. Just turn off QoS on your ASUS router and run your test again. This is just an assumption because I don't have your router configuration file in front of me.
My Download Is Slower Than My Upload
Why Is My Upload Speed Faster Than My Download Speed Reddit
After trying all suggested things and setups, I asked the provider to give me the WIFI password for their device and now I am using their device's wireless network and plugged out my ASUS router.
I concluded that the router-to-router connection isn't working very well or there is some sort of limitation in their device on using another router connected the PON-TECH one.
