what modem is it connected to?
Do you have IPv6 enabled or disabled?
Have you tried a different speedtest site? Which are you using?

The modem is a fiber modem from my ISP. I don’t have access to that part.
The Speedtest is from the Netgear RS500 router itself. When you log into the RS500web interface, it has a built in speed test function. Also same using the Netgear app on the phone.
I don’t have any access control controls enabled or Armor.
