Ever since I switched from Windows to EndeavourOS, I’ve had network speed issues on this device. These are:
regardless of browser or program trying to download data;
regardless of the network I’m connected to;
regardless of using wired or wireless connection;
regardless of having recently loaded the same domain;
not the case on any other device connected to the network(s);
not visible on speedtest-cli (I see the expected 70Mbit/s);
not visible on ping 8.8.8.8 (I see the expected ~10ms with no spikes);
not visible on ping _gateway (I see the expected ~1ms);
visible on packetstats.com compared to other devices, frequently spiking to ~100ms;
mostly an issue on procedurally downloaded pages and videos, and the initial load of a page, though I don’t know of a consistent way to instead test active continual connection.
Here are some potentially useful outputs:
