What devices do you have? You told us nothing about your setup or what devices you have.
we don't know if you're using a router, a powerline adapter, a wireless extender, or what.
Details are key

I'm just using a netgear R9000 connected to a modem Harris SB8200 3.1
All the ethernet connections cables are Cat 8

What firmware is on the R9000.
I assume that "Harris SB8200 " is Arris SB8200. If so, standard cable modem.
What speed do you get if you take the router out of the picture, with speeds measured straight off the modem?
For more one your router, try the appropriate section:
- SobehouseNov 24, 2022AspirantI’m not able to measure the speed without the router connected, I don’t have any tools but this are the readings from the R9000 app and it’s also what I signed for from the cable company

So I'm a little confused/needing clarity.
You said you don't have any ability to test the wired speed.
But your first post said your wired speed was slow and your wireless is faster.
That is indeed what your prior posts show. A wireless speed of 460mpbs (pretty good over wireless). And the routers speed testing showing the full 960 (ish) mbps.
So what's giving you the low wired speeds?
The fire stick and tv? If so, most tv's aren't gigabit capable. And none of the fire tv devices are. They're all 10/100mbps. Even the newest fire box with wireless 6E is only 10/100mbps.
So I'm curious whats giving you the slow wired speed for testing? Because it might not be gigabit.
