450 Mbps when laptop is connected to the modem directly. Isn't that what you asked for initially?
Now that you have changed your network category from public to private, you need to go to your Laptop configuration and forget the previous Wi-Fi network connection. Reconnect over Wi-Fi and enter you Wi-Fi password from scratch.
For throughput testing, are you using the Ookla stand alone application for Windows? If not, go to the play store and install it. This eliminates the web browser application from the equation.

It is.
Changing to private brought it up some but still less than half of the connection to the modem directly.
Your subject says "extremely slow on WIfi".
How fast is it now?
Remember that wifi will always be slower than wired and the R7000 doesn't support newer "go fast" wifi standards. Compare the wifi clients you are using on different sources.
199 down on the router,, direct connect was 450.
