USB-C Ethernet adapter works partially, as its runs in lower speed than wifi

Hi, I have a TPlink usb 3 adapter, it works instantly to ethernet, but looks like it has reached a limit of speed to 92mb, meanwhile my same connection but in wifi reach up to 380mb. Is there a way to increase the speed in Ethernet?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.5

say?

I once was getting just 100megabits on an Ethernet connection to a gigabit switch via a gigabit Ethernet port on my Mac. Turns out, my Ethernet cable was ONLY rated for 100megabits/sec. I changed my cable and I was getting gigabit speeds.

Ditto.
