Is it slow to download on one computer when there are two of them, both having identical hardware and drivers?

Do we use the exact same kind of wires to get to these two PCs? Can one of those data cables run together with regular electricity from the wall?
Speed says speed, but sometimes you get 100Mbps instead of gigabits because your cables aren't finished or have bad connections at the ends. I had this problem too! I used my crimping tool to fix the RJ45 plugs so wires were touching right. Only one wire out of eight isn't connected and that makes it default to megabit speed. You need all 8 wires working for gigabit. Try a new network cable.
Both computers are using the exact same type of cable (Cat6) that is ten feet long. Both cables just run across the desk to the router. The internet speed test shows 1.0Gbps on both machines. However, when I do a real internet speed test, all my PCs come back at 45 down and 35 up. This same issue happens on the computer that is acting up. For now, I will try swapping out the cable. If you have any other tips or suggestions, please let me know.
I tried a different cable and nothing worked. I checked all the steps on that Microsoft thread but no change happened yet. Turn on both Wireless and Wired services because they are needed for the connection to work well. To do this: Press the Windows key plus R then type in services.msc and press OK to open the services window. Look for WLAN Autoconfig and WWAN Autoconfig. Right-click them, choose Properties, and make sure it says automatic (if it doesn't, right-click, select stop, then start again). Restart your computer now. If the problem still happens after that, type these commands in Command Prompt as an admin: Press Windows key plus X to get there, then click on Command prompt (Admin). Type each command one by one and press Enter after every single one: netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns
I read more about the issue and found people saying just run a different command: change netsh int tcp to normal instead of disabling it. That solved my problem right away! Since turning it off didn't work at all, I guess something set this to disabled over time by someone else somewhere.
