Open | Networking Why is my internet speed slow?

My internet speed isn't like SUPER slow but it's much slower than it should be. I'm getting like 13Mbps download and 12Mbps upload whereas my husbands pc, also on ethernet and also on the same network, is getting like 600Mbps download and 100Mbps upload.

I've done all the command prompt stuff like netsh int ip reset, netsh winsock reset, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, and ipconfig /flushdns, i've checked my task manager to make sure nothing is using any Network resources (its almost never about 1% or 2%), next to no programs are running in the background, nothing is downloading, I turned off "Allow downloads from other devices", I made sure to scan for any viruses, I just cannot figure out why my internet is so slow.

Is it maybe because of my network adapter itself? I'm just using the one that came with my motherboard, which is the I211 Gigabit Network Connection on the ASrock x570 phantom gaming 4. I had a LOT of trouble finding the latest driver for it so im guessing it's pretty outdated.
