It also has the same limit, showing 95Mbps in iperf3 testing between local machines on my LAN
It shows the same issue when doing an Internet connection download speed test to a local server - my Windows box does ~ 500Mbps download at same ethernet terminal and this again is only 95 on my Ugoos.
Did you ever communicate directly with Ugoos on this issue? I see you elected for a partial refund from GB but that still leaves big question mark
postscript - I also repeated the iperf test using SSH into CoreElec OS (booted from EMMC) and I get the same 95Mbps limit;
also the speedtest addon shows about same limit with ethernet (95)- but on 5G is over 200Mbps
Looks definitely to be a hardware limitation
One more piece of data - I also eliminated my router and connected the Ugoos directly to the Cable Modem - still only gets 95Mbps through the Ethernet connection
Update
OK - this is embarrassing
It was a cable issue
I was using a Purchased Pre-made Cat7 Cable
I discovered that is was the problem
See the tests below
The first is when I swapped in a different cable between router and AM6 - good result (~500Mbps)
Second - put cable back in and problem was back
Third, replaced cable again and back to good speed
My Internet Download test is also now good (~350Mbps) .
Experien - I would have sworn this was not a cable issue - and this same cable had no apparent issues with another box
So I would recommend you try again with different cable set.
Also - I ran Ethtool in CE and that got me pointed in the right direction.
My apologies to Ugoos for casting aspersions - the box DOES deliver what it promises.
p.p.s. I have two of these cables CAT 7 cables - they both give low transmission rate when connected to the AM6 - and actually the same issue when connected to my Minix U9-h - however they give full rate when connected to my Intel NUC
What could be possibly different in that regard of Android vs Windows Adapter?
