Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 + 1.2Gbps Xfinity Internet + Windows 11 Home + Driver version 22.160.0.4

[a_o]

Modem + Router: Netgear Nighthawk CAX80
ISP: Xfinity Comcast 1.2Gbps 
OS: Windows fully updated to Windows 11 Home 22H2
Device firmware/hardware has been fully updated from Lenovo Vantage + individually from Lenovo's recommended driver download page.

WiFi speed tests always show no more than 150_down and 40_up  >> back on my old router I was getting 400-500mbps when my Xfinity Comcast Internet was at 800Mbps.

Is anyone else having this issue? or is it isolated to my device crapping out in about a year.. I've played around with a lot of systems/network adapters/etc.. settings, but does anyone have any recommendations on preferred settings to get my WiFi speed test results to be 500mbps+?

Even though my speed looks slow it it definitely doesn't act like it and I got a pretty decked-out device.. the speedtest just keeps giving me doo doo results.

Thanks
