And did you power OFF the ONT when you did the FR on the router for 1 minute then back ON?
Only other item to try would be to maybe downgrade FW, try v.76, FR, power cycle the ONT, and then setup the router from scratch I would either not set the SSID name and leave it as default for now, then go in and immediately do a speed test with your wired PC using Ooklas installable speed test app, try a couple of different test sites with in the app. Or if you set a custom SSID for the wifi, turn OFF the wifi radios temporarily on the router before running the wired speed test. Trying to eliminate other devices maybe slowing something down. Disconnect all other wired devices accept for the wired PC. Try testing a different wired PC to compare results as well.
Try a CAT6 cable between the ONT and router if possible.
Does the router seem to get warm or overly warm at all?
