Any chance you had network cable damage during the upgrade? Perhaps try a different cable and different ports on your router/modem, just to rule physical issues out. I suppose if could be a bad port on the motherboard too of course. If you had a USB-Ethernet adaptor you could perhaps rule that out.

As elaborated in other posts where you asked about drivers most of the it is best to just check the manufactures website which you linked yourself and hunting to newer unvalidated drivers almost never solves anything.

In this specific issue speedtest.net and setting up an internal iperf or similar are great debugging tools. Comparing the results of the two you can differentiate an internal issue vs and external one.

iPerf on a gigabit network connection to another computer on the same network also with a wired gigabit connection should come very close to the theoretical max speed of near a full gigabit per second (will be closer to 940mbps-ish there are overheads and such). Once you validate locally move to speedtest.net or similar online server and you can compare when the internet is doing vs the local network.

If IPerf isn't getting you anywhere near 900-940mbps range and your at like 100mbps then something is wrong internally. Damaged wire, bad software, over agressive anti-virus doing live network scannings, VPN connection still enabled etc.
