New RAX29 AX2400 working but wired connections are not showing correct download speed
Installed new RAX29 AX2400 and all is working except when I do a speed test using different apps for the wired devices, they all come back barely showing over 100mbps. I pay for 200 from Verizon FIOS...

I only have internet from Verizon. They have a fiber box that has a 5' Cat 7 ethernet cable going from that to the router which was used to connect their g1100 to. All I did was replace their router with the Netgear. As I said it works except the speed tests with two wired divices barely show over 100mbps but the wifi is correct. With the Fios rouer and TP link ax1800 the wired speeds were consistant. About 250 for wifi and 300 for wired. The two wired devices are Fire Sticks 4k MAX. I just ran a another cat 5e cable to one the devices and nothing changed.
I even changed out the cat 7 from the Verion box to the router with a cat5e. Switched the cat 6 cables on all 4 ports and still a lower wired reading. I am not having an issues at this time with streaming with the wired devices. The cat 6 cables going to these two devices are 35' and 50'.
Is it possible that all 4 ports on this router are bad?
