NCLUGers,<br>
<br>
I am trying to see why my laptop network speed seems slow and get
ideas for if/how I can fix it. These are a couple test I ran on the
same network with my desktop and laptop right next to each other and
WIFI'ed to the same router connected to Fort Collins Connexion.<br>
<br>
I don't buy expensive boxes so this is what I have.<br>
<br>
Desktop named "klr" - 3+ years<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/zbox-ci338-nano-windows">Zotac
Zbox CI329 Nano</a> (~$300)<br>
Debian Mate GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)<br>
<br>
Laptop named "bob" - 1 month<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.amazon.com/TRHRO-Inch-Traditional-Laptop-Computers/dp/B0FVL485QG">Amazon.com:
TRHRO 14 Inch Traditional Laptop</a> ($230)<br>
Debian Mate GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)<br>
<br>
Here's a speed test from <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.speedtest.com">www.speedtest.com</a><br>
