I recommend that you leave the DHCP IP address pool range set to a smaller range. You don't have to use the default range. I personally never use the factory range on any NG router. Also this provides room for static IP addressed devices as well. I use .100 to .150 as I only have around 30 devices. Plenty of room for additional devices if and when that happens.
We hope so, however don't have that info.

WIth v.130 applied, I applied v.134 over the top then used the ERASE fuction to factory reset the router. Used MS Edge to set up the router and walked thru the setup wizard.
I recommend clearing out all browser caches prior to walking thru the setup wizard.
The "Device not found" message appears on the QoS page:
Wired speeds are to spec:
Connection Test is working however the download doesn't reflect what external speed test app says:
Something I noticed this morning, I had used the top WiFi enable/disable button yesterday to turn OFF the wifi radios. Left them OFF over night. I looked over this morning and found the 5Ghz radio enabled LED on the front of the router this morning. I used the button to enable the radios, then agian to disable the radios, both LEDs turned OFF. I'll check this again later.

Thanks for the detail as always, the Device not found error is a weird one but it can be fixed by downgrading to .130, resetting, then upgrading again without resetting after.
Looks as though Connection Benchmark is reporting incorrectly, out of interest can you let me know if you get expected results running a speedtest here:

Let us know how you get on with the Wi-Fi.

Ok, speed test for that site linked in MS Edge:
Uplink isn't near to 50Mbps specs.
Got home and WiFI LED is still OFF. I'll continue to check this tomorrow morning.

v.130: Taken 20211105
Also downgrading to v.130, factory reset, then update back to v.134 doesn't resolve the "Device Not Found" message seen in QOS. Still appears for me. Though only seen once after entering into QoS.
Ran the Connection Test after downgrading to v.130, reset then back up to v.134:
QoS disabled. A bit better results on the down. Still not near 900Mpbs.
