Right, your hard wired XBOX tests to the Microsoft servers, so your speed test goes from Cox, to the internet backbone, to the internet provider for Microsoft, then to their server, which is answering requests from all over while talking to you, It's not accurate. Open the browser on the xbox and run the speedtest on various sites, like on https://www.cox.com/residential/support/internet/speedtest.html , speedtest.net and http://speed.googlefiber.net

Testing over WiFi is inaccurate. 2.4 is used for cordless phones, microwave ovens, bluetooth devices, cordless mice and keyboards, game controllers, baby monitors, garage door openers, radio controlled devices, as well as every single wireless router around you. 5 ghz, has ½ range of 2.4 and is used by cordless phones, baby monitors, cordless keyboards, and mice, and many wireless routers, as well as drone video transmission. That's a LOT of background noise and usage that reduces bandwidth usage for YOUR WiFi devices. The ONLY accurate method of testing speed will be by computer connected via 1000baseTX or faster connection, direct to modem, while no other device is connected to your internet utilizing bandwidth simultaneous of your testing.
