I have Fios 1G up/down. When close to the router i get a little above 600mbps down and 500mbps up.
If that is wifi speeds, then you will never get Gbps. Even wired connections will lose some speed.
600 Mbps is faster than many wifi clients can deliver. The wifi clients you use are the key. You don't say what they are but can they get faster speeds on other wifi sources?
Is there anything you do that is too slow? Or are you just looking at the numbers?

Just looking at the numbers. Im doing Speedtest with my iPhone 11Pro. I have connected all my smart plugs and google home mini to the 2.4G channel and i only use the 5G for our phones and laptops and AppleTV.
