I'm trying to download documents from OneDrive to my computer (Mac mini). When I click on the download icon at the top of the screen on Firefox, I see 1.5 MB/sec with a max of 2 MB/sec. When I do a speed test I see download Mbps is 817.
I am using Wi-Fi and the Telus router Boost Wi-Fi 6. (installed in Sept. 2023) is right next to me.
When I pug in an Ethernet cord to my router and connect it to my Mac mini, I see in Settings that Ethernet is connected (green light). If I then turn off Wi-Fi the internet does not work at all. So something is wrong and I'm not sure if this is related to the slow download speeds. If I do the same with my windows laptop (connect the Ethernet) Wi-Fi works with the Ethernet cord plugged into it. However the download speeds is about the same, up to 3 MB/sec.
Other details:
What can I do to try and get my files to download faster?
I appreciate any ideas because I really have none.
thanks,
J.

What are the download speeds when you download files from another location / website / service? It's entirely possible the bottleneck is with OneDrive.

Thank you @Nighthawk You are correct. I downloaded a few photos from Flickr and the download was automatic! This is pretty frustrating because I want to download all my OneDrive files and it's going to tale forever.
