Nighthawk MR60 dropping internet speed
my Night Hawk MR60 with two satellites was behaving properly giving me as expected internet speeds, however not sure when it happened but definitely between October 2023 and January 2024, the maximum speed it's giving me is only 90MBPS, whilst my provider is reacing 520 MBPS.
any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, previous cases, anything anyone that can help?
I have done almost everything imaginable and yes, my ISP modem is giving the 520 with a wire directly to my laptop.
please help and thanks

What s that modem?
it is provided by Spectrum in the US and model is ET2251, docsis 3.1 eMTA, which is a brand new one as i asked the ISP to swap it to prevent the old one was having issues.
You might log into the router and find out if its connecting at gigabit speeds or only 10/100mbps speeds.

A sketchy cable can cause that. Or bad port/dirty port.
thanks, i read it through but what i am supposed to be looking at, this is how it looks

Try replacing the cable between the modem and the router. Make sure to use a good quality cat 5e or cat 6 cable.
Whats connected the lan port as its only connect at 100mbps speeds too.
