USB-C is a Gigabit Ethernet Adapter low speed internet MacBook pro 2016

Recently I bought Belkin USB-C is Gigabit Ethernet Adapter for Macbook 2016, unfortunately, the speed of internet connection is about 150 Mbps while the speed of the Internet is 1 gb. Today I checked the same only with an ethernet cable connected to an older Macbook with an ethernet plug. In this case, the speed of the Internet approached 1 Gb/s.

Is it possible to do something / change the computer settings to increase the internet speed over the cable?

Try a different USBC port

The two ports on the right side of the machine have Thunderbolt 3 functionality but with reduced PCI Express bandwidth. For that reason, Apple recommends plugging higher-performance devices into the left-hand ports on that machine.

Late-2016 MacBook Pro models vary slightly in the data speeds they provide to each Thunderbolt 3 port.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016) delivers full Thunderbolt 3 performance on all four ports.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) supports Thunderbolt 3 at full performance using the two left-hand ports. The two right-hand ports deliver Thunderbolt 3 functionality, but have reduced PCI Express bandwidth.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports) delivers full Thunderbolt 3 performance on both ports.
