wired slower than wireless?

I have a CR200A gateway and noticed that my ethernet connection is slower than my Wi-Fi connection when connecting to the same device. 

I get about 300+ Mbs via WiFi, but only 206 Mbs via cable.  I know that isn't a lot of a difference, but I expected a higher throughput on an ethernet cable. 

Can this be corrected?

200Mbps  is definitely too slow for a typical gigabit Ethernet connection.

  • Is the device connecting directly to the CR200A gateway, or are you in IP Passthrough mode and it's connecting to another router first?
  • Do you have any other Ethernet devices that you can test with to isolate if it's just one device you're connecting and not a systemic issue?
  • Have you tried using a different Ethernet cable?
    • How long is the cable you're using?
  • Have you tried both Ethernet ports on the CR200A gateway?
