Arcadyan KVD21 ethernet

I have the Arcadyan gateway whic h seems to work ok for the most part. My issue is the ethernet speed compared to the wireless speed. With wireless I usually get over 100MBS. With ethernet usually the best I can do is rougly 20MBS. No way should wired be slower than wireless. I know it is not my computer as I have not yet cancelled my Xfinity service and I get around 920MBS with Xfinity. Is it the hardware in the Arcadyan or the firmware that T-Mobile is using? And what would be the advantage of slowing down the ethernet ports? I, like a lot of people, only want to plug my existing router into the gateway so I don't have to reconfigure my home network. T-Mobile support says the only option at this time is a replacement with another Arcadyan. I would like to try the Sagemcom but right now that doesn't seem to be an option. Thanks for any anelp.

You say that "T-Mobile support says the only option at this time is a replacement with another Arcadyan". How would that fix the issue would they be replacing it because your unit is faulty? Or would a new unit have some unlocked or different software? Upon speaking to them and telling them what your end goal which was. And correct me if I'm wrong,  to use your own router essentially making the gateway the modem (only Nokia can turn off Wi-Fi therefore modem in the sense of the word that's what one wishes to achieve with Arcadyan device although technically isn't purely possible). I'm just trying to understand what a new u it would do that your current wouldn't. And is Sagemcom a different gateway T-Mobile offers is it a newer device or was it among the first or is that the Nokia gateway?
