Issues with ethernet connection - internet slower than on WiFi
I have a desktop pc in room 1 which up until now has been connecting fine to the internet via WiFi from the router (DrayTek Vigor2710ne) in room 2.
I was getting acceptable speeds using WiFi but in an effort to see if I could get a faster connection I decided to run an ethernet cable (30m cat5e) from the router up through the ceiling and down into my room. This was the result I got when checking the speed over the ethernet. (I was testing throughout the evening so pay no attention to the fact that they're an hour apart).
When I checked the WiFi speed I had all the other network adapters disabled apart from the WiFi (Realtek 8185 Extensible 802.11b/g Wireless Device) and when I checked the ethernet I disabled everything but the ethernet (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller). The drivers are the latest from Realtek.
Was just curious as to if I am doing something wrong or what sort of results I should be/could be getting with the ethernet because I'm pretty sure something's wrong here.
Any help would be appreciated and I can post logs/configurations/more info/etc if needed.
Thanks in advance, cheers guys.
