Ethernet way slower than wifi

I upgraded to 1 gig internet. Got a new modem from ATT and installed yesterday. 5268 AC. The wifi output is around 450mbs. But the computers hooked up to Ethernet only show ~90mbs. My computers are bought within the last year. Ethernet cable is 5E. I checked the network adapters and they can handle 1gig. So now I am at a loss. Modem has been reset many times. Help please!!!

Next to each yellow Ethernet port on the back of the Pace is a little LED.  What is the color of the LEDs for each wired computer?
