ethernet capped at 10mbps
I have a service speed of 400mbps, network card is Realtek PCe GbE Family Controller, and cable is cat6. I have changed my link speed to 1 gigabit/full. However, a speed test with the ethernet never gets about 9mbps (wifi is between 60-140mbps). Checking "view network settings" shows the speed still at 10mbps, despite having changed it in the advanced properties settings. I have gone through every forum related to my PC and/or cable being the issue, including updating the network drive, deleting and reinstalling it, checked the cable (it's brand new), etc. and nothing has fixed the issue. Could there be a setting on the router side of things? I have also tried lowering the link speed to 100mbps/full; changed nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try getting the drivers off the Realtek website, it states on there the plug wnd play Microsoft drivers don’t work with that card, I had problems until I updated to their drivers

Hey there @hanzb! Thanks for joining us in the Xfinity Support Forums. It looks like you've done a good chunk of troubleshooting on your own already, out of curiosity, have you also tried that ethernet cable directly to the modem (bypassing the router entirely)?
jlavaseur brought up a good point as well about getting the drivers direct from the Realtek website.
