Been searching around the internet looking for someone with my issue but can't find anything

I use a ethernet cable on my pc and when i do a speedtest i only get 5Mbps in download

first i thought it was the cable but when i connected the cable to my macbook pro i got 90Mbps

and without the cable on my mac i get 60Mbps. I can get over 30Mbps on my xbox one and ps4.

When i first got my pc it still had the same issue so I'm guessing it's the motherboard please help.

it's really annoying because when downloading stuff i have to download it from my macbook.

My dad also has a pc but he has wireless internet and he also reaches around 60Mbps please help.

How old is the PC? its possible the Ethernet port isn't 1gb or 10gb, if it's older it probably doesn't support 1gb speeds. Even though your Internet isn't at the speed of 1gb it will still slow it down a lot.

Can you tell me what the specific motherboard is or if its a prebuilt what the model #of the computer is.
