Usual boilerplate questions:
What firmware version do you have on the device?

It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.

When I’m hard wired or wireless to the router, I’m only getting 95 download.

Firmware is V1.0.4.122_10.0.95. My modem is an et2251 from spectrum. It’s a modem and only has the one internet port to link to the router.
