I pay for 100 Mbps download speed from cox, which i get from my computer hardwired to the wifi modem, but my other computers hard wired to the modem only gets 38.15 Mbps and my wifi computers all get around 28 Mbps.  what gives?

First what kind of modem do you have? Needs to be DOCSIS 3.0 for Ultimate speeds.

Second,  the 100Mbps isn't promised on wireless devices. There are many factors that limit that. You CAN get 100Mbps on wireless, its just takes the right mixture of technology and configuration. What kind of router do you have?

Sounds like the other devices won't handle the speed. Yeah, Wireless is going to be iffy depending on the wifi modem you're using. Would be best to provide more info (model numbers, brands) on the devices you're using, hard to say anything without more specifics.
