Slow connection while I have fiber

Hello,
After living for years with ADSL not exceeding 9 Mb/s on speedtest, I finally have fiber with Free and the Revolution due to a stock shortage of other boxes. Yes, but still, it's well below my expectations. Indeed, I tested directly via Ethernet on my box, and the speed is around 90 Mb/s in both directions. This remains decent, but I had reached 500 Mb/s via Wi-Fi at a friend's place who lives a few hundred meters away and has the Delta.
My first question is, is it normal not to exceed 90 via cable?
(I am also questioning this, as the speed test on my Apple TV via Ethernet shows 90, but my PS4 shows 480 with about 10 Mb/s actual download, so which one is telling the truth?)
Next, the biggest issue arises from the fact that my office is at the other end of the house, and I cannot move the box. For now, I have a repeater to act as a relay, to which I have connected my PC via LAN. The test shows about 30 for download and 15 for upload, and in reality, it's about 2 Mb/s, which is as good as my 4G via Wi-Fi. This is absolutely not sufficient for my use. The ping is satisfactory, varying between 3 and 10.
I also tested an old powerline adapter that I had lying around, with a maximum speed of 85 Mb/s, which should theoretically be better, but the speed test does not exceed 4 Mb/s. I wonder if it's the fault of the powerline adapter or if I have a poor electrical installation.
I would therefore like to know, first, how to achieve more than 90 Mb/s out of the box? Would the option of buying a powerline adapter allow me to have the same speed in my office as if I were connected to the box? Will switching to a newer box as soon as possible drastically improve the situation?

Hello.
Normally, when directly connected to the Revolution via Ethernet, you should be getting 800/900 mbps provided that you are the only PC connected because the Freebox Revolution provides 1 Gbps.
I am with Free and I have the Freebox POP, here is my speed on the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port:

A hello, an answer, a thank you are always appreciated.

My first question is therefore, is it normal not to exceed 90 when wired?

Hi,
Install a proper Ethernet cable from one end to the other.
Or a mesh Wi-Fi network, not a repeater, which is sufficient for an ADSL connection but falls short on fiber.
Powerline modems are not much better, especially the old 85 Mbps ones.

Hi
what do you have in http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/#Fbx.os.app.settings.ConnectionStatus, Internet Status tab?

By the way, I see a maximum of 125 Mb/s, it seems to me that we can double that by switching to 40 MHz, so that's what I did, I restarted my box, but it remains at 20 MHz...
Hi,
If you have a V6 or mini fbx, you will always have 1 Gbit/s or 125 MB/s max download, the problem isn't there,
see my previous answer.
It has nothing to do with the 40 MHz which only concerns the wifi bandwidth, it can improve and push your 90 Mbit/s speedtest to around 150 in the best-case scenario, but not more likely, you will only get the Gigabit with a real ethernet cable.
