  • I am going to guess your computer has a 10/100/1000 port and your router does not. Looking both router's specification proves this might be the case. You don't indicate the network adapater used on your computer. The sheer fact you noticed a 10 times factor also indicates this might be the cause.

  • I had a similar issue and it turned out that the cable was faulty, you might want to test your cable or get a new one:superuser.com/questions/337132/…

  • The network adapter on the PC i used to test with and without router is Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30).

  • Any router with Gigabit ports will return your speed to you.

    @user267621 - Your computer has an ethernet controller that is 10x faster then your router's ethernet controller.
