Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, IPv6, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.

Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.

Hi FURRYe38, thanks for responding!
What Firmware version is currently loaded? I have the latest: 2.7.5.6
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? I'm on the NBN with FTTP so it's whatever they installed. It appears to allow 640Mbps through to the router so I'm confident it's working OK.
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor: already not activated
IPv6: already disabled
Smart Parental Controls or Circle: already disabled
Traffic Meter.: already disabled
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router and satellites been performed ? Yes, I did this as part of activating the faster Internet plan.

This happen on a 2nd computer to compare results? My Google Pixel Pro mobile phone does better and gets between 300-400Mbps on wifi. Maybe this means my Windows PC needs tweaking in some way?
