I use the my Internet Service Provider (ISP) DNS closer to my location on the router and sometimes on the computer DNS cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 on the computer. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/ Some users prefer google 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 or Quad9 Security 9.9.9.9 I like DNS Jumper V2.3 to find wich DNS is faster every hour and wich days of the week. I hope this was useful.

Turns out.... Its the ISP supplied WiFi 6e router ethernet interfaces..... thats a bummer... For anyone in the future this is the Spectrum branded SAX2V1S model. After connecting directly to the modem (should have been an obvious first step), I am easily able to get to and maintain the 1gbps internet speeds, see graph below. I will have to see about adding a hub or something in between. Thanks @spenceteeth

Just a query. Is the residential gateway/ modem provided by Spectrum? If so is PC connected directly to that provided modem or passed through either a switch or isp extender device or perhaps a wall jack rj45 ethernet port using inside wire in the walls. Also if straight to router is there a port out of usually 4 or 5 grouped ports that are not of the same color or may even labeled as "1Gbps" some go higher when dealing with fastest speeds. Att and Comcast have equipment that use this Internet speed on PC is largely hardware specific. gpu, cpu, memory, Network interface As a former tech for the Death Star I would bet its the top suggestions. Lasty the PC...but it is more common than you think of coming up shy. 820 on here is good on testmy I wouldn't fret

Using DNS in Singapore doesn't really help for your latency to the server. Latency is like the time it takes for you to send a message to your friend and for them to respond. In the world of the internet, when you click on something or ask your computer to do something online, it sends a request to another computer far away. Latency is how long it takes for that request to reach the other computer and for you to get an answer back. If it takes a long time, everything online feels slow, like when you're waiting for someone to respond to a text. When you ask your computer to load a website, it sends a message to another computer far away called a server. That server holds the information for the website you want. The message travels through wires, cables, or even space (if it’s using satellites!), and when the server gets it, it sends the website information back to your computer the same way. The time it takes for the message to go to the server and back to your computer is what we call latency. The quicker it travels, the faster things load! You can't improve this unless you're able to take a shorter path to the server. The physical distance creates unavoidable latency... the speed of light is the limiting factor. What the Latency Test is showing you is that servers in Singapore will perform best for you. Amazon is hosted on a CDN (content delivery network) so when you request using that test it pulls from a server closer to you automatically. To improve latency over long distances, here’s how it works: Use servers closer to you: Imagine a game of telephone. The closer the person, the quicker the message gets to you. Using servers that are closer (like a local one instead of one far away) speeds things up. Optimize the route: Think of taking the quickest path home. By using smarter routes (like special internet paths called "content delivery networks"), the message travels faster, just like choosing a shortcut. Use faster connections: Just like a fast car on a highway, using better internet connections helps the message travel quicker, even over long distances!
