hey guys,

I have a 2012 macmini that i use as a home server running docker containers and whatnot. It runs arch linux, btw.

For some reason, it takes so much time to download stuff on it as compared to all my other devices on the same network.

I used speedtest-cli and have some results to show. Mind you, this behavior is constant with changing cables or ports on the router.

the ethernet connection seems to be fine on the motherboard because I can get full speeds when i test the connection within my network between devices.

pic 1 = speedtest results.

pic 2 = LAN speed test using a tool similar to iperf.

did anyone face the same weird issue?

a local connection uses the whole bandwidth, but not to the internet.
