Ethernet slower than WiFi

If you are only getting 95 on Ethernet, then your computer either does not support Gigabit Ethernet, or it's somehow defaulting to 100Mbit setting.

So I had a Netgear C6300 with the 500mbps service. This modem/router combo would only put out about 250 Mbps through wireless and 100 through wired connection and wasn’t approved by Xfinity for the speeds I signed up for. So I got a Netgear CM1000 modem, approved for up to 1 gbps, and it would only give a max of 95 Mbps to my router. My router is approved for over 1 gbps second as well. I tried several troubleshooting steps and different Ethernet cords and no change. I though I bought a defective router and so I got a Netgear CM700 with the same result as the CM1000. So I had the Xfinity support person set up my original modem/router combo and then I’m back to speeds around 250 through wireless and 95 wired. This is why I believe it to be an issue with the Ethernet signal from Xfinity. What can I do to get my Ethernet speeds higher?

Check to see if your computer's ethernet network adapter (NIC) supports 10/100/1000 gigabit port speeds.
