how to increase r6120 speed
my internet connection speed is 200mbps - but router limits the speed to 100mbps
speeds mention on product is • AC1200 WiFi—300+900Mbps†
how can i see 200mbps on my system using ethernet ?
You can't, the R6120 is designed to run on slower Internet connections.
The R6120 Data Sheet and certainly the associated documentation does show that the WAN/Internet port as well as all LAN ports are Fast Ethernet standard, so max. 100 Mb/s only to the Internet (limited by the WAN port).

• Five (5) 10/100Mbps (1 WAN and 4 LAN)
Fast Ethernet ports with auto-sensing technology

These are the theoretical max link rates of the 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi - the available net bandwidth can be shared on the same WiFi with multiple LAN and Internet port only
