First - Happy News - I am clocking > 400 Mbps on my desktop with every speed test.

After several factory resets doing nothing, I unchecked the "Enable Daisy Chain Topology". The router did a restart and BOOM my LAN speed went up and the wireless speeds have not suffered.

Not sure what the technical reasons are, but I am happy now.

Yes. Same laptop. Slow on LAN and fast on wifi.

Now my iPhone, Samsung phone, laptops, report > 300 mbps via wireless, using the Ookla speed test app.
I killed and completely uninstalled the killer app. New sure that there was no other qos from my Dell desktop. Still LAN speed limited to 300 or below.

I guess I'll keep investigating. Not going to the gigabit plan anytime soon! 😏😏

Do the Dell wireless speeds are good and same laptop wired speeds are slow?

If you have same Killer adapter, I would look into any QoS or network traffic management features on these adapters to see if there is someting causing a slow down on the wired side.

Can you test with a PC that doesn't have a Killer adapter installed?

Here's a weird thing!!

Tested with my work laptop. It is a Dell. First tested wireless. Xfinity speed test reported 487Mbps download and 8 Mbps upload. Tested 10 times. Similar results.

Connected the ethernet cable to the laptop. Tested speed. 202Mbps download speed. Same result multple times.

Any thoughts?

BTW, I saw this thread here. I have the same Killer ethernet controller. I had it before this issue started. I have disabled the service, still the same results on my desktop
