25 MB/s are 200 Mbit/s - things depend on the wireless client capabilities, too. A 802.11n 2x2 can reach about these numbers for example. Provide more information.

When attached to a router my speed drops to that 25/200 number. I’m not expecting 1000 but it can’t be right that with a Ethernet connection I’m only getting that 200 number.- schumakuJun 03, 2019Guru - Experienced User
There was no word that it's a pure Ethernet connection - lots of WiFi config info indicated you try a wireless connection client-router.
