My internet speed on my computer will max out at 40Mbs download i also used a different computer to check if the cable was at fault but on that computer i was getting 77Mbs download. Is this a hardware issue and i would need to replace the motherboard? Or would this be a software issue? Please help and any input is greatly appreciated.

Motherboard:ASRock H97M Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX
Intel Motherboard

Do you have all of the latest updates/drivers for BIOS, chipset, and LAN? Are you using a download manager? Are ALL d/l's slow or just from some websites? Does your ISP limit your bandwidth after so many GB's or do you have a piece of hardware limiting it through one of your settings? Are you using a wired connection on both pc's or is one wireless? Is your router or modem doing any throttling? You have to rule those things out before you can start narrowing down the cause.
