Why are broadband speeds different on Windows 11 laptops compared to Android phones?

  • I had an upgrade to my broadband to 900/100Mbps yesterday.

  • 3 x Android Pixel phones (2x Pixel 6, 1x Pixel 8) all achieve ~900/100Mbps no problem.

  • 3 x Windows 11 laptops (2 work laptops from different companies, 1 personal laptop) – all max out at ~320Mbps.

  • I have tried the laptops on wired and wireless connections – all give the same result.

  • The Ethernet is negotiating 1Gbps

  • 6GHz WIFI band / 2402 Mbps Tx/Rx link rate

  • Auto-tuning: Normal, RSS: Enabled

  • All tests completed multiple times over Ookla, BT, Fast.com, and Cloudflare all with almost exactly the same results

  • Ping is ~12ms with 0% packet loss

Any ideas?
