SOLVED: Brand New Balance One Core only getting 95 Mbps throughput

SOLVED: Let this be a lesson learned. I determined through my cable tester that I had a bad cable. Always test your cables!!! My cable tester said the cable status was a Split-Pair. I think this cable had originally came with the XFinity modem that they supplied. In any case I replaced the cable and I’m getting 236Mbps through the Peplink Balance One Core!!

I’m upgrading from a Balance 20 to a Balance One Core. I recently upgraded my Comcast cable from 100Mbps to 200Mbps. The Balance 20 only has 100Mbps throughput which isn’t enough, so I went with the Balance One Core. Unfortunately the fastest I’ve seen is about 95Mbps through the Balance One. I was getting 85Mbps with my Balance 20! If I connect my laptop directly to my TP-Link TC-7620 cable modem I get 205Mbps. So not sure what is the problem. Thanks

Pictures below show the 205Mbps I get when connected directly to the modem. The 94Mbps is when going through the Balance One.
