Continuously low speeds and http/https leak issue?

Using a Netgear AX1800 Router Model R6 700AX. I've had slow speed issues for a while now but had faster speeds earlier. In Avast One I am continuously getting the following messages after Network Scan:

[HTTP] Device Password Leaked (CRITICAL)
[HTTPS] Device Password Leaked (CRITICAL)

 

Avast suggests changing the device password.
I have tried resetting the password on my router several times but the Network Scan through Avast continues to come up with the same issues regardless of how many digits, letters, etc.? About the same time this began showing up my incoming speed also started slowing down? I would immensely appreciate anyone help here as I'm at my wits end on what to do?
