The internal Speedtest app is not very reliable or accurate. Try a different speed test like https://openspeedtest.com/ or Ookla

MrRouterMan Did you get anywhere with this?
I have the same problem when speed testing my new RAX200 on BT FTTP 900, couldn't get more than 480mbps down, it's always been a rock solid 930 on my Smart Hub, and even on a RAX120 I'd tried for a few days previously before having to send it back because of the random reboots.Weirdly i've plugged my BT Smart Hub 2 back in and have the SAME issue now, it can't download faster than 480mbps.
Either the RAX200 triggered a fault or something else strange is going on.
I'd like to know if you ever found a solution though?
