FTTH 1gbps not getting full speed on 1 PC out of 2

[link to this post]

Hi i have 2 computers one of them i use as a gaming PC and the other one i use as a home server(old gaming PC) and i am not getting full WAN speed on the home server on https://www.speedtest.net but on the gaming PC i am getting full speed. Both have gigabit LAN adapters and the router is gigabit. The file transfer between the 2 PC's locally happens at 100MB/s.

Local File Transfer
The speed tests where done with nothing running on it only speedtest.net
Gaming PC Speedtest
Server PC Speedtest

Home server specs
Gaming PC specs

what can i do to speed up the home server?

Have you tried doing the speedtest on your server in Safe Mode to rule out a stray Anti Virus, Firewall or even Windows Defender messing things up?

If this makes no difference, have you tried putting the network cable from your games pc in to your server to rule out any hardware faults (like cables, or ports on the router)?

i will try safe mode with networking. I did change the LAN ports but not the wire because the Server PC is not close to the router and LAN file transfer speed is good but i will change the wire and try also. ty

safe mode speedtest
New wire speedtest

This much fluctuation was there before, only on the server pc. and i forgot to mention this is happening both on the on-board LAN card and PCIe LAN card.
i am going to try a few different OS and if that dont work idk maybe my ram is to [censored] or my cpu is to old idk :<

Are they the same cards ?

Also do the pc configurations differ massively ?

The on-board card is made by Atheros and the PCIe card is by realtek. they give the same result.

Yeah i have posted the PC specs. Server PC has Intel Core2 Quad Processor Q6600 and the gaming PC has i7 3770k

Have you looked at the performance of your server during the speedtests with task manager/performance tab? As it's an older machine I wonder if your GPU or CPU is limiting the performance, web based testers may be using quite a lot compared with the resources for file copying.

omg yes 80-90% cpu usage at 600mbps download and 50% for 900mbps upload.
i guess that solves it need a better cpu. tyvm
