Switch connected to RT-N66U Slow

Occasional Visitor
I have a RT-N66U running Shibby Tomato 1.38 that I have always had my desktop connected to. Running a speed test (testmy.net) gives me normal speeds (115/10) but I went to reconfigure things and when I hook up the desktop PC to a switch (Netgear GS105) I get 25/10.
The GS105 is right next to the N66U and the PC is on a 15ft cable. Everything is CAT6 and both the N66U and the GS105 are showing 1000m connections.
I tried different ports on the switch and get the same slow speeds.
If I plug the cable directly into the N66U my speeds go back to normal.
Why would the switch be slowing down the network?

Ask the switch...probably a full/half duplex issue.
