Been too long since I used iperf2 and this is the first time I've used
iperf3. Forgot to set the bitrate, do it defaulted to 1Mbs.
Download still sucks.

Upload looks much better:
[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Jitter    Lost/Total

Really annoying that the download speed is what I'd like to see improved.
Router? It's an old ASUS released in 2016.
