Slow Ethernet but Fast Wifi on same computer

I have the black T-Mobile Home Internet device that I just recently purchased. 
 

My computer, phone, and other wireless devices have 200mbps speeds while my Ethernet connected devices have 60mbps speeds. 
 

I tested my computers speed wirelessly and it hit the 200mbps mark, I plug in an Ethernet cord and it drops to 60mbps on the same computer.

My drivers are up to date, I have tried 6 different Ethernet cables and 3 different devices, I have called 3 T-mobile technicians and still no solution to this problem. 

How can my Ethernet speeds match my wifi speeds?

    Are you trying at least CAT6 ethernet cables? CAT7 and CAT8 are better options.

     

  • Was originally trying a 5e, went out and both a 6.  Same issue, no improvement.
