How to i raise my Link Speed (receive/transmit)?
I just changed ISP to frontier and got 200/200 speeds but my gaming PC only reads 100/100 when i viewed my network properties.(Yes I'm connected through Ethernet) I was wondering how i would go about changing that because when i do speed test i get 95 down 98 up (Ethernet). When i do the speed test on my phone i get 199 download and 196 upload (WiFi) I've googled just about everything and tried everything I've read.

What is your gaming PC connected to? What kind of cable are you using? What kind of network interface? One of those three things is not gigabit capable, but there's no way we can know which.

You need at least a cat 5E cable (the e is important) - check what's written on yours.

It is most likely your ethernet cable, if your ethernet cable is a cat5 cable, max speed you can get is 100mbps. I would recommend switching to a cat 5e or preferably a cat 6 ethernet cable. I checked the ethernet port you provided and you are capable of 1gig speeds, try a network cable and that should fix the issue.
