The app is not a reliable speed test software. You better use Web-based speed test sites to measure your speeds. Recommended is also to use your fastest device, whether wired or wireless.
Also keep in mind that anything that needs to inspect packets first, will lower your speed. This includes QoS, Traffic Meter, Parental Control, etc. Also, your router is a pretty basic one so it may have issues hitting Gbps speeds

for thr most part, I probably dont have any devices that will reach gig speed I guess. It's probably overkill for what we do, but I got it to be future proof because the price was locked in. May just go down to 250/250 - that will be more than enough for our streaming services on mutiple devices at the same time
