Question Ethernet speed capped at 100 mbps

[sidzv]

Hello everyone!
Today, out of nowhere, I saw through Steam that my connection with the PC doesn't go beyond 100 mbps (SpeedTest). I have a connection that is supposed to go at 200mbps (as you can see) and I have both router and ethernet cable that can support it. I say this because my connection was like this (SpeedTest and Steam). I don't have another cable or another PC to test but in Wi-Fi, with the tablet, I have 170 mbps. I haven't changed anything, neither on the PC (the link speed has always remained like this) nor on the router or anything else. What can I do to fix?

You need a new cable. That is the cause 99% of the time.

How can this happen? I mean, the cable was new and worked fine for a month.

Humor us...try a new cable.
