So I checked my 2024 Mac Mini with its M2 Pro chip too

Same max speed as my 2019 Intel-based iMac I referred to in my OP for this thread (just under 1Gb).

I don't understand why thunderbolt would be necessary. (And I do have a spare thunderbolt port on my 2024 Mac Mini.) But I'm connected as follows:

mac (either 2019 iMac or 2024 Mac Mini) -> Ethernet to 2Gb switch supporting 2Gb on each of its ports -> Ethernet to new Xfinity 2Gb cable modem. It's possible that one or both of these connections may use Cat5 cable (I don't remember), so I might swap it out with a Cat 6 cable if that would have a chance to improve things.

Is it really more complicated than this?
