I connected the AX5400 to the ISP router in modem mode, but my Ethernet speeds fell from 950Mbps to around 700-750 Mbps. Only one device was detected at a time. I've tried various Ethernet cables without improvement, so I'm unsure what else to try.

What connection method are you using—Ethernet or WiFi? I’m having trouble locating any performance comparisons for this router. It seems to have Gigabit ports, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it supports gigabit internet speeds. You’ll need genuine gigabit ports to achieve over 100 Mbps. If the device can’t handle NAT at gigabit rates, you won’t get those speeds either. I’d guess a triple-core model could support gigabit, though I don’t have any benchmark results. This is likely why people opt for PF-Sense instead of buying a ready-made unit—most routers struggle with gigabit connectivity properly. There might be an issue with the setup or some internal processing that’s consuming too many CPU cycles.
