I recently switched from Wi-Fi to Ethernet and noticed my internet speed hovering around 90-95 Mbps despite a subscription that claims up to 500 Mbps. I have a Category 6 cable, my motherboard supports up to 2.5 Gbps, I’m running an Intel 12700K with the ASUS ROG Strix Z690-i gaming Wi-Fi. Could there be any issue affecting performance?

Check if the router/modem supports 500 Mbps connections. Determine whether you're linked directly to it or via a switch.

the router needs to handle up to 1 gbps and i'm linked to it using a wall outlet

I don't understand the cable layout inside the wall. Also, review the router's configuration. It has a "green mode" that caps its ports at 100 Mbps.

I agree with this. Some routers allow you to set individual port configurations, such as limiting the speed to 10/100. Another method is to use a laptop and a short jumper cable, connecting it directly to the router to test the speed. Repeat this with another port to rule out the longer cable and computer as variables.

Connect the computer straight to the modem using the direct cables instead of the wall connections. If possible, relocate the PC temporarily to a spot where it doesn’t interfere with the setup. Use the same cables you normally connect between PC and wall, and between wall and modem. If both operate at gigabit speeds, you can confirm the issue lies with the wall cable, which is likely the problem.
