Is the slow internet speed connected to the device's hardware?
This internet speed cap is set at 17.5 down / 2 up. The system runs on Windows 10 with an i7-9700k processor, 16GB RAM, Nvidia 2070-supra graphics card, and an Asus Rog Max XI Hero Wi-Fi model version 1. I experience over 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload speeds with Starlink, while being duplexed on a DSL line that drops to 40 Mbps down / 5 up. The switch automatically selects the best available speeds. My PC consistently reaches only 17.5 Mbps regardless of settings. I suspect the issue might not be with the motherboard itself. There are a few possibilities: the Ethernet card could be faulty and the system defaulted to its built-in capability, or there may have been an unexpected change in BIOS or software settings. All potential solutions are being considered.
What you mean by duplexed is not applicable in networking. You cannot merge two internet service bandwidths together. You should only utilize solutions like dual WAN load balancing or failover routers.

Starlink wired connection to WAN1
DSL wired connection to WAN2
and a wired link from your PC to any LAN port of the TP-Link router.
Your wireless adapter would be ineffective in this setup.
Other gadgets connected to the identical network operate in a similar manner.
By duplexed I meant to convey that I have a switch which checks the performance of both connections (Starlink and DSL) and picks the best one for use. Sorry, I realize my earlier words were unclear. I’m not very technical enough to grasp the exact details, but what you described matches what I think you meant. I just wanted to let you know that the WiFi connection isn’t related to the load balancing switch. I only shared the WiFi performance info to show that whether the PC gets Ethernet or WiFi input doesn’t affect the speeds, even though both inputs are much faster than the PC’s maximum speed. Please let me know if this helps.
All other devices on the same network are working well. The cellphone is reaching high speeds and my wife's PC is also performing strongly over WiFi. As mentioned, both the WiFi and ethernet connections have been checked by a skilled IT professional, who confirmed the ethernet cable and WiFi settings were functioning around 100 down and 20 up. In fact, performance is often even better than that. This suggests the issue isn't related to network connectivity but rather to hardware, software settings, or firmware configurations. I've never encountered a "compromised" ethernet or wifi card before. My experience has been clear—performance remains consistent regardless of connection type.
The command "ipconfig /all" executes on the computer using the Command Prompt without quotation marks. The device details such as modem, router, or combined model are included in the output.
