I am using a free tool called LAN Speed Test (Lite) recommended on several sites and am getting very inconsistent results (see screenshots below). I didn't even think it was possible to be getting a 1.5 Gbps speed with a regular gigabit network card.
Is the software I'm using not very good, or do you guys think my test setup is incorrect? I am using a shared folder to test, which, if I understand correctly, this setup makes the data travel to the router and then to the shared folder and measures that speed, but perhaps that's not the case.
