Ethernet slower than WiFi?

I finally managed to improve my setup a little. Two directional antennas mounted on my roof. Speeds have practically doubled. This also gave me an opportunity to connect my main computer via Ethernet. I thought this would be a huge improvement, but it’s actually really slow. WiFi is anywhere between 35 and 60 up. The Ethernet is not even getting 1. Is there something I need to configure in Goldenorb? What’s going on here? Also router is a WG3526

Is the ethernet in a lan port? Not wan?
Have you tried multiple lan ports?
Sure it isn't a bad ethernet wire?

It's lan, tried a few ports. Also a brand new ethernet cable, so I hope it's not bad.

What is the link speed showing up in windows? If it's showing as 10mb half/duplex that would explain the throughput. A bad cable or NIC could cause this, or an accidental setting change to the adapter forcing it to 10.

Not the actual throughput, the negotiated link speed displayed in the connection properties... If it's not showing 1000 then something is wrong with cabling/ports.
