RBR850 Speed Capped just below 40gbps

I hate to say it but it may have been a fluke. I'm now getting speeds >40Mbps. I never get 100Mbps when running through the RBR850 but I have seen ~75ish. There are ~40 devices on this network so I'm sure that has some effect. No idea why I was consistently getting 38-40 every time I did a speedtest for the first couple days 😞
Anyway thanks for looking.
Next time if you do see this issue again, try this:
Power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
Glad it's working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
