on my computer it tell’s me its 281.on my tv speed test says 46 download.what is wrong .I haven’t changed anything
What’s your setup, device, service, speed device, other apps.
my modem to router to tv is connected to my tv.then modem to my computer.should I use WiFI for my tv
Way to many variables to really help here, start doing tests with wifi and hardwared connection and rule stuff out
I don’t know what happen but but the router was connected to my computer and my modem was connected for my WiFI.which is backwards right
Ethernet cable from modem out to router in (not the 4 ports in a row, but the other one) then, any of the 4 ports on the router to your devices (if using ethernet/hardwired)…if not, then connect using the router’s wifi.
If you have a gateway (combination modem/router in one) then just use any of the 4 ethernet ports or wifi.

Why do i get a lot higher download speed on the firetv box than the formuler z11 pro max and the are just 3 ft apart on same table?
Scientifically this is described as an FM. You also get different speeds on the same box depending on which speed test app used. It can only be known scientifically as a Freakin’ Mystery an FM !?!

How much difference in the speed? Are they wired/wireless? Are either capped at 10/100 mb?
Wireless not sure how to check about the cap on either device

How significant is the speed difference?
What kind of fire TV box is it what’s the model?
Are you using a VPN on only 1 of the devices? That makes a big difference too.
Ive noticed different speeds results all the time. Mostly when using a vpn even though the are connected to the exact same vpn server location.
I am still trying to figure out how my Onn 4k gets better speeds with a vpn 3 rooms away from the router then my Onn 4k Pro with vpn in the same room as my router.
I just leave it as @BigDave says FM!

FM !!!

Let me know if you do that. It’s very difficult for me to get behind my tv to switch out the plug for my Onn Pro or else I’d experiment as well.
I use Analiti/VPN and my 3 boxes are side-by-side. Comparing speeds to my Nvidia Shield Pro, 2nd gen Cube and the ONN Pro, I get varying speeds consistently. The Shield shows the fastest speed. The Cube is a small bit slower and the ONN is consistently half the speed of the other 2 boxes. All using the same server on SurfShark.
i recall reading a post from Troy saying that the processor/processing speed would cause some issues with the Mbps.
