Ethernet wired port slower

Why is my Roku Ultra wired speed with a “Good CAT 6 cable” connected to my 1-Gbit router Ethernet port 30% slower than the wireless data transfer rate!?

Thanks

Re: Ethernet wired port slower

I'm going to guess that your Wi-Fi speed is around 130Mpbs?

The Ethernet port is fast Ethernet/100Mbps, though throughputs are typically closer to 90Mbps.

Banned but back. Because why not?

Re: Ethernet wired port slower

The Ethernet is only 100Mbit, which maxes out around 90 or so in the real world. Unless you are streaming 4K content ripped from BD's or similar, it is more than enough for Internet streaming. Plus, it is usually more reliable than WiFi.
