R6100 Router internet speed issues

Internet speed is reduced after R6100 router connectivity. If I connect directly (withour router) and test the speed, I am getting full speed (250/100). But when I test after connecting R6100 router (even with wired) the speed is reduced to (100/100). Please let me the reason and any fixes.

    The issue is  a LAN / WAN port speed limitation on the R6100.

     

    LAN 10BASE-T or 100BASE-Tx, RJ-45 WAN 10BASE-T or 100BASE-Tx, RJ-45   - Manual - Page 119

     

    YOu have two options, purchase a new router that support 1000Mbps LAN  / WAN, or downgrade your Internet service
