thunderbolt to ethernet adapter -> plugged into the back of the router in one of the LAN ports.

1. Your MacBook OR Router is negotiating the link at 100Mbps instead of 1Gbps. All Airport Timecapsules seem to support Gigabit ethernet, so this should NOT be the case. Check your settings in Airport utility.
2. Your ethernet cable does not support 1Gbps (unlikely but possible) OR is defective. Try using a different cable.
3. Your adapter is defective.
4. Your Airport/Timecapsule is defective.
EDIT: If this discussion is correct, you can fix your issue simply by replacing the ethernet cable.

1. Your MacBook OR Router is negotiating the link at 100Mbps instead of 1Gbps. Chances are your router does not support gigabit ethernet. If that's the case, you're screwed - time to buy a new router.
2. Your ethernet cable does not support 1Gbps (unlikely but possible). Try using a different cable.
just checked online and it does have Gb ports.
Same results with a different cable

11MB/s directly connected with ethernet cable.
Is this normal?
"Programmers never repeat themselves. They loop."
its the 2013 rMBP and the router is the AirPort timecapsule.
Nothing else was connected to it.

thunderbolt to ethernet adapter -> plugged into the back of the router in one of the LAN ports.
That could also be an issue, if something is wrong with the adapter or if it's a crappy unit that can't handle very much speed.

See updated post. Tl;Dr: Replace the Ethernet cable, TB-E adapters are picky.

I know that it will never actually get up to 1gbps, because of the hard drive inside, but it is still concerning that using wifi gets a faster speed.
How old is your Time Capsule, and how full is it (how much free space is left on the disk, and what size disk do you have)?
