Aurora R14, Realtek gaming 2.5gbe network appears to have a restricted connection speed
Alienware Aurora Ryzen Edition R14
Trying to diagnose the limited internet speed over Realtek family 2.5gbe family controller. Confirming the following tried/tested/status:
- Adapter driver is up to date.
- Cat 6 cables replaced and swapped with devices operating > 100mbps.
- Forced network card settings to >100mbps per other potential resolutions.
- Whole home running through 1000mbps internet wired over cat 6 via patch panel and 2.5gbe network switches.
- TP Link AX11000 router all up to date.
- If I drop the PCs ethernet connection and connect via wi-fi I record >350mbps.
- Speed test at router >850mbps.
I can see others have posted with no resolution and tickets are closed. Has anyone got any idea?

Not sure what you are trying to do, but the router you are using has Ultra Connectivity - 2.5 Gbps WAN port and eight Gigabit LAN ports.
You will not get anything more than gigabit connectivity on the LAN side. When using a wired connection it will link at 1 Gbps, not 2.5 Gbps.
