Gs605 Highspeed but lower speeds
My GS605 pushed through my Gigspeed to my PC it's running to. Averaging about 800 Mbps on the test. Which is exactly what I would expect. However, on the same switch. It's connected to two different Xbox's. Both of which I've ran speed tests at separate times, while none of the other devices are using the internet on the switch. On both Xbox Devices, they're averaging about 200 Mbps... The cord leading to my PC is CAT 5e and the other cords are CAT 6's. The cord leading from the wall to the switch is a CAT 6, and the Cord running the main connection to the wall port is a CAT 5e.
I'm just trying to figure out what to do. All connections are secured. All cables are recently new.
Thanks for any input!

To do? Don't trust the xbox test. It doesn't always pick a good server or always have the ability to max out gigabit.
If you're maxing out the speed with a hardwired in pc/laptop, thats what I'd trust.
So if it's not reliable, then how do I get my gig speed to come through my Xbox then, so I'm no longer downloading at 200 mbps. I have plenty of friends that have gig speed and get gig speed to their xbox. So, what can be done to allow that for my xbox.
Talk to microsoft?
They speedtest/servers are the ones that impact that.
If your other devices are getting full speed, the router is supplying full speed
