Not getting 100Mbps WIRED but I am wirelessly Netgear Model C6300
Hello. My Netgear C6300 shows output of 100Mbps but when WIRED to my desktop or laptop, I'm only getting around 50-60Mbps using speedtest.net. When I check the speed on my phone using the 2.4 Ghz channel, I get the same, around 50-60Mbps but when I change it to 5g I get well over 110Mbps. Why isn't my wired connection getting the 100Mbps which the wireless modem router is outputing? Thanks for your help!

That modem supports Gb LAN so it looks like your local LAN stuff is stuck on the old 100 Mbps standard. Unfortunately, this modem does not seem to "colour code" the LAN LEDs
I'd look at your local hardware. It may be slower than your internet can deliver.
Perhaps there are new drivers for your LAN devices.
50-60 Mbps seems a bit low, although we don't know how you are testing it, but whatever you do you aren't likely to get up to the 100 Mbps of your Internet speed. Indeed, there's a chance that it is delivering > 100 MBps.
If your hardware is 100 Mbps LAN, it isn't difficult, or expensive, to add newer and faster LAN.
