I do have a couple of USB-C adapters with 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports and tried connecting that to my Macbook Pro. There must have been some problem with the MBP as it only showed 900 Mbps coming in from the CM2000. Strange.
I'm pretty sure the incoming signal to the router is ok, the Nighthawk app speedtest shows it to be around 1,650 Mbps. I was also able to determine that only my iPad Pro M2 can receive speeds above 1 Gbps (from the 6GHz channel), so I connected it ti 6G, moved it within a few feet of the router and finally got speeds above 940 (was 1,011 Mbps). It's still far away from the incoming speed to the router but progress nonetheless. Any tips to close that gap? Maybe settings on the router?

What speed does you research say you should get with the iPad Pro M2?
Are you still trying to get WiFi to match the wired speed?
