I have my pc connected over Ethernet cable (cat5e). The ethernet is connected into my Gigabit port on the router. It is connected into a TP-LINK TL-PA7020PKIT V2 Passthrough (which is rated at 1000mbps) to my room, about 12m away.(due to bad wireless connectivity). When i go into Network settings in Windows, it says i have a speed of 1Gbps, and in my router settings it says im receiving 1000mbps. But when i run a speed test i only get 65mbps*! I would greatly appreciate an answer or even a solution! And... i'm also aware the Cat5e cables support speeds up to 1000mbps, so why don't i have anywhere near that!

If your ISP connection is not at 1Gbps, then you're not hardware bound, you're bound due to the connection/package that you're on. Mind sharing your ISP's package or probably the maximum bandwidth to your connection?
