Thanks for your reply... I was told by another poster that I, since the laptop
I use connects via wifi, should consider my 12mb speeds normal - 

So I am going to connect said laptop to the ethernet connection and test both
Pi's again. (pi 3 and pi 4...) 

Thanks for your info; that is about what I'm getting from BOTH the Pi 3 and the
Pi 4; which are both connected to the ethernet connection, but pulling TO my
laptop Thinkpad T430s which is on its older WiFi chip/card.

Thanks again...
