USAFRet :
Modem -> PC = near 250mbps
Modem -> router -> PC = ~125mbps, across different cables
Then this would suggest the router is the culprit.
Am I guessing there is something wrong in the settings? Because my router is way more powerful than my modem (talking about max output speeds)
"max output speed" means nothing in this context.
The WAN port on the modem and the LAN port router are all gigabit capable.
This is a setting of some sort on the router. Or a defective router.
