Anyone notice a huge discrepancy between iPhone Speedtest app and your router
speedtest results? I have gigabit internet from Cox with an Arris surfboard modem and a NetGear Orbi router.

I am trying to check speeds upstairs to see how well the signal is transmitting from the modem and main router downstairs to the Orbi mesh WiFi extenders upstairs. Upstairs, the ookla speedtest app says 130 mbps, whereas the NetGear Orbi app’s own speedtest in the same location upstairs says 700 mbps (also measured on my iPhone).

Has anyone else seen a similar discrepancy? I’m guessing the NetGear app would be most reliable. Just surprised to see such a big spread.
