Use Speedify as Your Starlink Companion
If you’re getting the Slow Ethernet Speeds alert on your Starlink, it means that it could go faster than its current speed, but there’s something wrong in the setup between the Starlink dish and the router, switch or your computer.
The Speedify app is here to help: run it to combine Starlink internet with 4G / 5G cellular, DSL or another older connection and avoid having to deal with poor internet connectivity and even being disconnected from the Internet.

Reasons for Getting Slow Ethernet Speeds on Starlink
If Speedify says it’s detected slow Ethernet speeds to your Starlink, that means that in that first hop from your Starlink dish either to your computer or to whatever switch or router it’s plugged in to, it’s detecting slow speeds.
Starlink can go 350 Mbps or more; if it detects that the Ethernet negotiated down to only a 100 Mbps link, the you’ll get this alert.
The reasons for this include some issues with the cables, the ports, old hardware (router, switch, etc.).
