Leave your wan preference at the 1gbps preference. The CM1000 doesn't support link aggregation and it only has a 1gig port. You won't see a benefit to changing it.
In terms of speed increase a couple questions.
1. Do you have 160hrz channels enabled?
2. What 5ghz channels are you using? 160ghz requires that dfs channels be used. If you aren't using these, you won't get the benefits.
3. Did you update the driver on your intel card? intel was pushing out quite a few updates when they first released it. make sure its on the latest driver from intel (not from dell) and make sure 160hrz is enabled within its settings.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure how to enable 160hz channels, I don't see much online related to that or how to enable it.
For channels, I'm currently running:
WiFi (2.4Ghz): Auto
WiFi (5Ghz 1): Channel 44 (from a choice of 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60,64)
WiFi (5Ghz 2): Channel 100 (from a choice of 100. 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128)
I don't see the option to select anything around 160hz.
I'm running the latest driver for the Intel AX200 card as of today.

>>>>>>>>> iphone 11 only support 2x2 up to 80MHz band so the max link rate is 1200Mbps
>>>>>>>>> regarding 160 or 80Mhz selection, you will find "the mode" up to xxxMbps. if you see up to 4800Mbps, the bandwidth is 160MHz. if 2400Mbps, it's 80Mhz
