Hi, Pls see my respond below. Hope to have more guidance from team to ratify the problem and learn together. Thanks!
1. Are you able to get 500Mbps via a wired connection while running a speed test?
- No, both Wifi & wired connection max speed cap at ~90Mbps
2. Are you connected to 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? You can check from the network status in your device
- My configuration is Auto. i.e. both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz enabled. I used my iphone which assiged to 5Ghz but result is the same.
3. Are you conducting a speed test via mobile phone/laptop/desktop?
- I tried iphone and desktop (with Gigabyte lan port and Cat6 network cable connection to my router)
4. How old is your device?
- I bought my set in June'18 running with latest firmware.

Try changing your Ethernet cable , preferably a Cat6 . Thereafter , do a speedtest with your device directly connected to any of the router’s ports .
Somehow, speedtest done on QOS from within the router itself is not accurate.
Hope this helps.
