Doing a factory reset on my router WNDR4300 with latest firmware solved the issue. Now I am able to get 89MBPS on 5g & 75MBPS on 2g. Thanks a lot.

Wired connection directly to modem: 180 mbs (comcast)
Wired connection through router: 20 mbs
Wireless connection using router: 20 mbs
Same issue with all devices
Not a cable issue for the wired connection (tried several)
no interferences from other devices (and of course, this wouldn't explain the wired slow connection)
on latest firmware
did the 30-30-30 that briefly improved the WIRED connection only, but minutes later it reverted to 20 mbs
The router clearly seems to be a bottleneck, and it is not just a wifi issue. Any solutions short of getting a new router?

This should have been corrected by a firmware upgrade and reset.
Since you're still experiencing the same thing, I suggest that you get a new router.
