    This suggests that the PC is only connecting at 100Mbps instead of 1000Mbps. 

    Try using a different cable and a different socket on the Hub. Check the ethernet settings in the PC to see its connection speed.

    Is the PC cable connected direct to the VM Hub ?   

    i.e. not via a 10/100 switch or a 10/100 Powerline extender or similar.

    That 94.0 Mbps reading is the classic symptom of a 100 Mbps ethernet connection. Do the checks I suggested above. 

  • Search for 'Powershell' on your PC, then select 'Windows PowerShell ISE'.

    Copy/paste the below code into the main window at the top, press the green 'Play' button, then copy/paste the results into a reply on here:

    $adapters = @((Get-NetAdapter).Name)

    For ($i = 0; $i -le $adapters.length-1; $i++) {
    Write-Host (Get-NetAdapter -Name $adapters[$i]).LinkSpeed;
    }

    An example on my PC:
