I just got a new wireless router to take advantage of faster speeds (I'm on a 200 Mbps plan) and the router has a speed test function when you login to it. When I did so, it showed the following results (It uses Ookla to do the speed test):

When I go to Speedtest.net (also uses Ookla for the speed test), I get the following results, approximately 1/4 of the router speeds (this is with no other devices actively browsing/using the network). The server connected to is the exact same for both tests.

I expect some loss, but this seems like a huge difference.

I troubleshot with a couple other servers, and there were huge differences between some of the various servers. Does anyone know why this might be the case?

The router is an Asus RT-AX86U. The laptop is an Inspiron 15G on Windows 10.
