A couple things.
1. the WNR2000 isn't gigabit capable. It only has fast ethernet (10/100mbps). Its a very base model N300 device.
2. 2.4ghz is a slow network. hitting 40mbps on it is about what you can expect from that band on that router.
3. If you have 400mbps, I'd look at upgrading your router. Your router right now is the bottleneck in your system.
You have an older, slow, n300 router without much capability. If you're paying for 400mbps, its time to upgrade to a dual band, gigabit device. I'd look at some of the newer AX routers with that speed capability.

what actual router do you currently have?
Are you testing on 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
what device are you using to test on? (model)

WNR2000v5 - gosh I hope this is the model
I have no idea how to tell what im testing but I think someone once said something like 2.4.
I’ve speed tested on my HP desktop, laptop, Dell work laptop, and my iPhone 7.
