Welcome to our community! :)
It seems that you are having issues with your network speed if you are connected directly to the switch. This is just a plug-and-play unit, have you tried to use another cable just to isolate? How many devices are connected to the switch? Have you tried connecting only 1 device then do a speedtest?

Thanks for the reply. I did use a different cable and the same cable when connected directly to my router gets be close to 100 mbps. So it’s not the issue with the cable. Further, I just have 4 devices on the router and even with only one I have the same issue.
You did not put down your router model but it sounds to me like your router port and the switch port that your router is connected to have not properly negotiated speed and/or duplex. But I'm having difficulty visualizing what you are plugging in to what, actually.
