So the reported auto-tuned GWS works differently from manually set one?
You certainly need to figure this out.

And just as important: figure out why the speeds are so poor, compared
to what you're getting on your laptop, as well as to what you had
reported earlier (IIRC).

When did you remove the /4?  Before or after running the test above?
