So i got my 5g gateway today, very easy setup, and very impressed by initial speed test on my phone. All mobile data turned off i got 18ms, 497 Download, and 30 Upload on my phone. So i quickly grabbed an ethernet cord (Cat 6) and wired it directly to the gateway, but got 55ms, 80 Download, and 10 Upload. Out of curiosity i went microcenter and picked up a Internal PCI WiFi card, installed it, installed the proper drivers, and did a speed test, and the speeds went up to 120 Down and 30 Up. This is technically okay for my personal use, but i would appreciate the full 300+ that I'm consistently getting on my phone. Any fixes for this or at least any insight as to why it is throttling my connection speed to my PC. I’ve never had a wired connection be slower than a wireless connection I'm the multiple years of IT work I've done.
