[SOLVED] WiFi faster then Ethernet?

[McDonaldzSprite]

Hello friends I have question, it is concerning my WiFi speeds on my desktop. So I have pretty decent gaming computer build 3900x gtx2070 super. I have gigabit internet but when I hook up with an Ethernet cable the best I get is 270mbps. I’ve even went out and got a cat 8 Ethernet and a 2.5 gig Ethernet port but still nothing. The part that confuses me the most is that on WiFi my iPhone gets about 400-500 mbps. Any suggestions?

What router do you have?
It's not only about your Lan Card its about the port on your router as well...

Did your motherboard come with any "game enhancer" software like the Asus ROG Game First software? Or is this a killer network adapter? Both of those will limit speedtest results.
Since you are getting greater than 90Mbit, your network card is negotiating to at least 1GE.

I am using the xfinity gateway 7 it’s supposed to be good for speeds of 1gb

I don’t believe mine came with any I have the asrock steel legend. That’s why I’m really confused as to what it could be

Asrock does have the XFast LAN software -- http://www.asrock.com/feature/XFast/XFastLAN/index.asp
If you have that loaded it could limit your speedtest results.

I don't know. First verify you have it loaded I supposed. If so, there is probably an "exit" or "disable" option.

Okay, thank you for your time !

Try run TCP Optimizer as admin, set optimal settings, reboot and try the speedtest again. if improved but is still not fast enough, go under "Custom profile" and set "max connections per 01 server" and max connections per server" and put 16, 24, or 32, (16 should be enough), reboot and try again.

If what Danymq doesn't fix it (which seems to be the solution to 90% of this type of speed issue), boot up a linux live cd/usb and see if you can get full speeds there. This will help narrow down if it's a hardware, software or network issue.
