Since the day I purchased my router (a year before), I have been getting speed around 150 mbps even though I had a plan of 400 mbps from my ISP. All these days I thought the issue was with my ISP. ...

Quick question: How were you able to downgrade your firmware to V1.0.3.66_10.0.50? I did a factory reset last night but it just reset back to V1.0.4.122_10.0.95.
Follow this:
How do I manually upgrade firmware to my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Or read the manual for you device.
Visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.
Look for the model number on the label on the device.
Check the section in the manual on updating the firmware.

That just clears the settings. It does not touch the firmware.
Just changed our ISP from Xfinity to RCN and am supposed to be getting 1gig speeds. When I plug ethernet cable directly into computer we get around ~800mbps but speed tests over Wifi are only getting around ~200mbps.
Remember, when you change Internet suppliers, you need to reset the devices on your network so that they forget settings inherited from the previous ISP.
Also remember that wifi speeds will nbever be as fast as wired speeds. It is physics.
And 200 Mbps is as fast as many wifi clients can manage. Do these things do better with wifi different sources?
It might be worth a bit of background reading.
Understand Wi-Fi 4/5/6 (802.11 n/ac/ad/ax)

Possibly. But never a wise assumption.
You have joined in on an existing conversation that may or may not have anything to do with your problems.
There is also a good chance that the official support team is busily monitoring new conversations and may miss your addition to this one.
