Assume this is the link speed you see on the two computers - so computer <-> GS305 is able to establish a Gigabit link speed.

There is more where the GS305 does connect to - this 95 Mb/s is a typical performance you will get on a connection where a Fast Ethernet link is in the play. If all devices are Gigabit capable (like the computers, the unknown router, the GS305), and there is a link limited to Fast Ethernet, this can be caused by a partial or broken network cable or patch cable, where only two pairs are operational.
