Windows 10: Windows 10 Network speed v Wifi

I have a reasonably fast broadband connection, when I connect via wifi I get a speed of around 56M, but when I plug in via an ethernet cable the speed drops to around 8M.


I would like to connect via ethernet so I can connect via a network drive, which doesn't automatically connect via wifi.



Any ideas please?

Abysmal wifi speed on Windows 10

I've checked that drivers are up to date. I have 2 different wifi cards and 1 usb wifi adapter. I tried just about everything. Reception on other devices is fine, including a device located in the same spot as computer. It's strictly the computer after updating
to Windows 10. My wifi speed starts fine but will quickly go down to about 0.1 to 2 mbps (instead of 15+) Nothing seems to fix this, other than a Network reset, after which speed is fine again but quickly degrades.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro, v1709 Build 16299.371

Summary:

• No program is hogging the connection
• Speed degrades on multiple wifi adapter simultaneously
• Can only be fixed by a Network reset
• Steadily degrades over time after a reset
• No wifi problems on other devices, even in same location
  
• Drivers up to date
• Speed degrades to 0.1-2 mbps with short, temporary bursts to full speed
