beman - say what you would like, but I get the same readings from all of my devices,
Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook IvyBridge Core i5 4GB RAM
Speedtest.net by Ookla - My Results
Atom Based HTPC:
Speedtest.net by Ookla - My Results
Surface RT:

They are within the 6-8 Mbps pipe that I pay for, we are in a 5 story condo with a shared pipe...

Ok the reason why your probably getting the same speed between your devices is because your on a slower speed of internet, if you were on a faster speed say like 60mb/s then your speeds would fluctuate between devices like mine, my laptop I get 54.25 and my phone I get 34.15 and the surface I get 38.70 and on my computer direct line from Ethernet I get 62.80 so it all fluctuates because I'm not throttled by my ISP to 6-8mb/s like you are so none of your devices wifi can do their full potential which should be around 54mb/s...your basically stuck at the speed of your isp. see all the different results of mine?

Is you modem also your router? I have a separate Modem and Router, the only way that I'm aware of that you're getting different speeds is if each of your devices are connected directly to the internet. When I'm at work we have a 180/Mbs connection to the internet, and just like at home they all get around 130-140/Mbs.
Then there is something wrong with your home network if your speeds vary that much....
Have you done the copy test, take a 1GB file and do a copy across the internal network and compare speeds to the same target. I have a NAS device, copying a 1 GB ISO on 5GHz "N", I get around 6 MB/s on both my Ultrabook using an Intel WLAN and on my RT using the Marvell, on my wired 1GB Ethernet connection I get 48/MBs (MBs = Megabytes per second, where Mbs = Megabits per second)

yea something doesn't sound right with your speed, but what speeds are you paying for from your ISP? 16mb/s? if that's the case then your Surface should be doing 16MB/s... see this is the reason why I posted this thread, to see if we are really are having trouble with our wifi's because according to jnjroach I should be getting faster speeds with my RT...

OK beman39 I admit that was on my desktop pc :tongue: and like you my surface only gets between 30-40meg max over WiFi. Im running 5GHz N wifi connected at 270Mbps when close and transferring a large file always gets me about 5-6MB transfer speeds.
jnjroach you say there is something wrong with his network but mine is exactly the same...

Yes, I pay for 16Mb/s (no cable available where I live). But you're right, in that my SP isn't d/l at max speed, with my Lumina being quicker. Not sure why though.
