Wifi on Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 faster then Lan

[StR1k3r]

Hello lovely guys from the LTT forum,

 

I have been looking for a solution to this problem everywhere but I ran out of places to look, so you guys are my last hope. 

I am currently experiencing a lan issue on Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 for about half a year now, where the speed of my wifi chip is significantly faster then the lan chip. Current speed of my provider is 1Gbps down and 50Mbps up, I am getting around 300Mbps down on wifi and around 6-10Mbps on lan. Interesstingly Upload is identicall on lan and wifi.

I know that I am using a high quality cat 8 ethernet cable which I recently bought and I also tried reinstalling my network drivers several times. My dad who is on the same network is getting 1Gbps to his pc even through a switch. I also tried every port on my modem, no difference I even tried the switch from my dad to see if it might have some magic built into it , but no luck there.

 

Would be really nice if there might be someone out there who has been experiencing the same issues or has any ideas to solve my issue that I have not come up with.

Have you tried a different cable?  How long is your run?  I get 950/950 from my 1gig connection on a 100' Cat 6 cheap-o...

Have you tried moving your machine to where his is, using his cable/connection?

 

edit:  Using that same motherboard.

Just tested my machine on my dads setup, no improvements, still around 6-10Mbps down and 50Mbps up. Therefore my cable is probably not the fault here.

Just for reference, this is the cable I bought recently:

For speedtests I am using ookla, google speedtest, speedtest.org, and the speedtest of my german provider "Vodafone speedtest" with their runtimes varying between 10-30 seconds. I also tried Steam downloads, with the same outcome of around 10Mbps download on a 10gb game.

Have you installed the latest? I know you mentioned network driver, but wasn't sure what one that was.  Also, do you have  VPN running at all?  When i have Nord running, I get 150-170Mbs.
