Regarding Upload speed issue in netgear X6 R8000

I lives in India
i have netgear X6 R8000, and have the latest firmware in that i have airtel as my ISP , i have started VPN server on my netgear router and have 2000mbps plan and in netgear page when i try to do speedtest i am not getting more than 40-50 mbps upload , i am getting 200mbps download speed , same as in VPN i am getting 40-50 download speed because upload speed is too low , in airtel this is firstly moderm and after that my netgear router is connected , i had try resetting the router as well as tried in AP mode but it doesnot works for me. if i connect any device locally through netgear router than i am getting 200 mbps download and  upload speed but if i check that speed into my router page which is 192.168.2.1 in that i am getting 212mbps download sped and 50-60 mbps in upload speed , if anyone knows about solution let me know please. so if i use VPN client at somewhere else i suppose to get 100-120 mbps upload speed at anywhere but i am getting only 20-30 mbps upload speed i have check that and i am attaching the screenshot as well.

thanks in advance

    Which VPN is this?

     

    What speed do you get without the VPN?

     


    in airtel this is firstly moderm and after that my netgear router is connected , i had try resetting the router as well as tried in AP mode but it doesnot works for me.


    What is that modem?

     

    AP mode will not work on the R8000 unless that modem is also a router?

      i have using VPN server in netgear and without using VPN server i am getting the same upload speed around 50 mbps. i think so there is an issue of double NAT so this issue is repeating so i have contacted the airtel my isp provider to change their router to bridge mode so there will no issue of Double NAT

      the airtel router is Modem plus router
