What speeds do you get using the ionternal GUI or app speed test?

What speeds do you get using the ionternal GUI or app speed test?

Here a screenshot from the native app speed test that shows the "raw" speed.

So the speed from the ISP is >900 Mbps and on wifi I max out at around 200-400 Mbps when standing right next to the router.

thomatrix please take the valid blunderdome85 hints into your testing efforts, e.g. check the speed yon your local network, or use an alternate speeed test app and cloud platform please.

  schumaku - please note that the +900 Mbps screenshot is with Ookla.
  
  In fact I have tested all the suggested sites and services and Ookla has consistently been the fastest (with different servers).
  
  So - We have little to no Wi-Fi pollution, everything is setup accordingly to the setup wizard, I stand right next to the router and speeds are nowhere near what they should be at.
  
  Any suggestions?
