Better results expected

I have a gigabit fiber connection in my apartment. Wanted to connect my PS5 to a more reliable connection but am disappointed. First, the Mac Utilities app doesn't work at all. It asks for a password to make some changes and disappears. I checked their forums and this issue hasn't been resolved for over a year. Many Mac users face the same problem. So the Windows application shows that I have a 400 Mbps connection. But when I test it with Speedtest, it shows 70Mbps/20Mbps. I have tried many outlets in my house. Couldn't get better results. I don't know if the wiring is bad. However, this does not explain why the application shows 400 Mbit/s, but the test returns 70 Mbit/s. I tried anyway and now games don't work via streaming. It showed bad connection and reduced quality. So I had the best WiFi connection. I have to say that it was very easy to set up, but it's not easy to find a couple of good outlets with a 400Mbps connection. I am very impressed with the plastic quality, size, packaging and contents.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Updates
