New to 1gbp i have a modem asus router but i am so confused what speed am i getting?

So, I have a cat5e cable running from router and got the VM in modem mode to my ps5 and my apple tv my apple tv gets 950 mb download only if I choose server razorblue if i do not choose that and choose tnp i get like 500 mb

On my ps5 on wired i only get 100 mb but the wire is the same? Is it cuz the ps5 pulls more and required more than apple tv?  Wi-Fi is situated I. laundry room which is far away between walls so I'm not expecting good Wi-Fi

      Hey Esaelisa, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear you are having some WIFI issue with your PS5.

      . There are so many things that can influence a WiFi connection some of which include but are not limited to, a fish tank being in the same room, walls being built with concrete instead of brick, it could even be that your next door neighbours router is interfering with yours. Due to this, we are only able to offer limited help. Please have a look here: https://virg.in/wifisos

      The Hub's location could also be causing the coverage problem so we do need to check the positioning of it. Can you please ensure the following:

      > Out in the open

      > Next to the TV not behind it

      > Away from large bodies of water (e.g. fish tanks)

      > Away from baby monitors and cordless phones

      > Away from microwaves

      Think of the Hub as a radio, and WiFi as the sound - the further away you are from the radio, or the more obstacles that are in the way (walls, electronic devices etc.), the quieter the radio & the poorer the WiFi.

      3rd party kit can also affect this.
