Low Internet speed

My wired internet connection speed is 1000Mbps and the TP-Link Archer C6 v2 router allows up to 900Mbps. Windows 10 gets up to 900Mbps. But openSUSE Tumbleweed delivers a maximum of 550-570Mbps. The network controller is Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

@AxelR8 Make sure the router and your system has Auto-negotiation set on the ports and see if there is a difference.
