What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
What is the brand and model of the ethernet adapter in the wired PC?
Drivers up to date?
Armor or Traffic Meter enabled on the RBR?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
What speed test app are you using?
Happens with other ethernet connected PCs?
ISP modem: Calix gigapoint GP1100X
NIC: Realtec PCIe 2.5GbE
Drivers are up to date
No Armored or Meter enabled
Reboots have occurred in sequence as well.
Speedtest.net and fast.com are the speed test providers
Don't have any other PCs that have ethernet ports in the house.
What does this one wired PC seen when connected directly to the ONT?
Might try a full on Factory reset on the RBR, power OFF the ONT for 1 minute then back ON, then walk thru the setup wizard with the PC and web broswer. Don't enabled anything on the RBR after the setup completes. Run some speeds tests soon after you complete the setup.
Be sure the CAT6 Cable is STP.
