My question is regarding the wired connection from both of my satellites. I was expecting to get closer to 1GB from the satellites, yet I am only getting around 250M.

 

Why is this? What can I do to troubleshoot this? I actually purchased this system in hopes of having 1GB all across my house both wifi and wired.
