Why is the other computer's internet faster?

Question

Hi,

I just installed a router to share an internet connection.

Everything is plugged in on my computer and I have a wire running to a 2nd computer.

I did an internet test on both computers with the exact same settings and website, and the 2nd computer appears to have like a whole megabyte more in speed.... do you know why?

I thought they had to have a bout the same speed.
