Sorry that this took so long. I finally got around to trying an iperf3 test
and it looks just about the same my speedtest. I am really surprised at the
upload speed. It's about what I was seeing using netspeed, but that is
about at my max upload of 40M. ifconfig shows media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless
Ethernet VHT mode 11ac.

Running from my laptop running 1500048 to my server running 14.2 on a
hard-wired GigE interface.
