Ignorant and OT poor. Decode this plz

Yes 23 MBps (megabytes with the big B) is the same as 184 Mbps (megabits with the little b). Notice the 8X difference, there are 8 bits in 1 byte.

But yes, the fact that people can’t seem to decide whether to display bits or bytes is unnecessarily confusing to the average end user.

Normally its bits for bandwidth and bytes for storage.

And then Steam displays transfer speed in bytes by default

Thank you all! And through Wi-Fi the download speed is 1.5 MBps. The other numbers were from being plugged straight into the router/modem. I knew Wi-Fi was slower, but damn.

You need to fix your wifi. Properly configured wifi can easily achieve speeds several times faster than the wired speeds you're talking about. 200mbit should not be a problem for wifi. Check the wifi on your laptop, make sure it supports 802.11ac or 802.11ax, and that it's connected at ac or ax instead of a/b/g/n. Then check your router signals with a mobile app or something. Make sure your laptop is connected to the 5ghz signal. You might even be able to find in Windows where it says the speed that it negotiated in megabits.

Run some speed tests. Move around and run more of them.

If your router just isn't cutting it, get a better one or a mesh system. Seriously, 12Mbps/1.5MBps is far too slow to suffer through.

Thanks, I was wondering if I could do something on that end.
