Not getting 1Gbps speeds on ethernet from router - but internal file transfers fine..
I recently upgraded from 350 to 1Gbps speeds and the old Hub 3 was swapped for a Hub 5. Samknows speedtest tells me my speeds to the Router are fine (which is what I'm paying for technically) - but ethernet internet speeds are nowhere near 1Gbps. I tried from my normal PC and laptop (that do go via an unmanaged switch) but I've now connected directly to the Hub and it's the same. I've played about with the network card settings but made no progress unfortuately. I can, however, copy files between various devices (PC-PC, PC-NAS etc.) and they run at around 115 MB/s which is great - and also suggests no issue with any settings or cables. First image showing a local file transfer happening on the left (up around the 1Gbps level) and then followed by when a Speedtest takes place: Samknows results: Any idea how the internet speeds to the PC's can be improved? The Speedtest briefly appears quite high but then plummets down to around 500Mbps (sometimes lower). I've tried different browsers too. Wi-Fi, even when right next to the router (on WiFi 6 device) is nowhere near 1Gbps either but I know that's a different thing - but if there is an issue with the router then even using my own equipment won't make any difference as it will still have the initial ethernet connection to the router - through which, as above, I can't get close to the speeds I was hoping for. I am connected to the 2.5Gbps port on the Hub.
