I have a 60Mb/s Internet. When I run Speedtest oh my phone it hits around that. My PC that is hard wired caps at roughly 4Mb/s. I am at a loss for why this would be happening. Any suggestions?

ETA: So found out my R7000 was the problem. Had to do a factory reset and speeds are good again. Would like to know why a router goes into snail mode, but I will just be happy with faster speeds again.

Are you using the same server to test both? Is regular usage degraded on the computer?

Maybe the firmware was updated as part of the reset - don't know.
I just updated the firmware on my router and the TV consistently connects at the higher speed, which it never did previously.

I'm having the same problem on my MacBook Pro. I am a cord cutter and have no problems streaming Netflix or playing Xbox Live online games, but when I try to watch a video on my laptop it is slow as hell.
