That's not so easy to answer in a blanket way.
It depends on your regulatory domain and your operating environment.
Depending on the domain, different channels with different transmitting power are allowed.
And depending on your environment, other channels are disturbed by neighbors and other devices.

Of course, you should be doing your speedtesting via wired ethernet, because wireless is not full duplex and catch-22.
I have never seen an online speed test that tests fullduplex / bidirectional (simultaneous download + upload).

But if you are testing (on 2.4 band) and your ISP connection exceeds the throughput limitation of the wireless AP, then you won't get the same results as you would on wired ethernet. And because of client wireless hardware, you won't see the same results on the 5GHz band, either. Wired ethernet speedtest is always the safest bet. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
