LAN Issues?

[AudenKaitus]

After setting my roommates gateway to bridge for my own router, all wireless devices are now downloading at significantly higher speed and my xbox is no longer having NAT issues...

HOWEVER, for some damn reason my PC, which is the only wired device, won't go over 1 MB/s anymore. Given my limited knowledge, I don't know what else to try to resolve this problem. Why does every device but the wired one get up to 180 MB/s?

Is your PC connected to your gateway or the router?

How fast of internet do you have? Also internet speeds are measured in Mbps not MB/S. Bits vs Bytes my friend.

Our plan is 200mbps down 10mbps up. When I first set my computer up I was getting 100 down and 15 up according to the Ookla speed test.
Neither go above 10mbps on Ookla now.

I guess I was just using MB/s since that's what all my programs and my Xbone report in.

Fun fact 8 bits per a byte. 

 

Honestly it could be a few things. If your on cable internet it could be a signal issue. As cable modems have a set spec they have to run at signal wise. It could be a bad cable between your computer and the router. It could be a congested node, again if you have cable internet the node is where your neighborhood connects to the fiber leading back to the ISP. Could be the shit modem your ISP supplied you. 
 

Signal issues are easy to diagnose if you have access to the modems diagnostic pages. This depends purely on your ISP. I know Comcast allows access. As far as a congested node, most likely you'll see issues when every one gets home and gets on the internet during prime time. Then every ones internet will be slow, you might ask some of your neighbors if they have had issues. Lastly it could very well be the modem. Ive never had luck with ISP supplied anything. So I purchased my own modem, but Comcast charges $10 a month to rent, so I saved money as well.

Well, again, I get full to near full speeds on every wifi device. And the PC used to run at full speeds. Not sure if it could be the cable, but I could always move my computer to test a different cable. I'll go do that right now and get back to you but it's a very peculiar issue and all tests on my computer hardware itself came back ok.

I could always try a wireless card but considering the cost I put in to run the cable I'm kinda disappointed that I might have to do that.

Swapped some cable for a little while but nothing worked different. Then got an idea that I was pretty sure wouldn't work and just stopped messing with the router and put it in the gateway. Apparently the gateway can handle the wired connection just fine.

I have no idea why setting the gateway to bridge fucked with the router like that or why the router would suddenly become a bottleneck for only the wired connection just because it was now handling the connection more directly.

Like, I literally have no idea how any of this stuff works which is why I came here but RIP I guess...

yeah I dont know myself. I dont use an ISP supplied modem/router, I own a modem and router, separate devices.
