PC2 is much older than PC1 and cannot even run Windows 11. They both are Dell PC's. So one would expect PC2 to perform worse than PC1. It also shows that the problem cannot be the router itself because PC2 reaches speeds much faster than PC1 while connected to the R7000.

Your conclusions are faulty for several reasons.  Two different PC's with designs for different operating systems.  The motherboards are different, the chipsets are different, and possibly the Ethernet port chipsets are from a different vendor with different memory buffers and different drivers.  The security features of a new operating system and a new computer may or may not come with a performance cost when compared to an older machine.

 

You are borderline nit picking.  The throughput differences between 1000 and 680 would be difficult to perceive during normal operation and show up only during a test evolution.

In no way did you address the fact that PC1 is very capable of handling the speed when directly connected to the modem.

And calling this nit picking is not helping either. It's not a problem if you have no clue why this is happening, I haven't as well, that's why I came here.
