RAX80 too slow

Too slow via Ethernet
Got Spectrum 400Mbps (new modem).
Max speed via Ethernet 80Mbps.
If I plug PC directly to modern I get 480.
Also, I cannot use the Rax80 MAC address, I have to use my PC on the rax80 settings.
I have disconnected EVERYTHING except my PC, still at 80.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

    Problem solved. It was the QOS setting. Turned it off, full speed! Plus, reboot w/o the router, then connected the router and it allowed the router MAC address!

    Thank you all!

     

    BTW: I apologize for posting this in a language I don't speak, it was a mistake, sorry!

    But, what's interesting, it's not showing up under my posts, yet, Netgear community sent me a badge update. Cool!
