I'll preface this by saying I know that VZ won't help troubleshoot when using my own router, but I'm also seeing abnormal speeds with their Quantum router.
TL;DR- My wifi speeds are pretty pitiful since switching from the Quantum router to a Velop mesh system.
Full Story: I'm only a few weeks into my Gigabit service and can't quite figure out why the performance of my new mesh wifi system is suffering...
Setup: ONT (I-211M-K) running coax to Actiontec ECB6200 MoCA converter (for TV) and Cat 5e to master Velop node WAN. Velop LAN to unmanaged switch. This effectively took the Quantum router out of the mix, so that part is good. I was running one single node in a center location of the house and seeing 180-270 down and 170s up for a day... the next day (and ever since) I have been averaging 50-80 down and 170s up... what gives?
The best I've seen on wifi sitting right next to the router with a Pixel XL has been 300 down, and that was the first day.

Since the above I've tried quite a few different things. I went back to a "fresh install" with the Quantum, taking out the MoCA adapter, and speed tested on Verizon's site- 949/924. So seems like I'm provisioned correctly. But I hardwired and got 260/777 on Ookla and 73/376 wireless sitting next to the Quantum.
Next, I went back to the well with the Velop and did a DSLReports speedtest, which gave me 186/380 hardwired.
Then, I tried the Quantum on the same DSLReports speedtest, and got 671/926.
What could possibly be causing the Velop to only achieve a third of the wired speed of the Quantum, and such poor wifi speeds? Wifi speeds are not great on the Quantum either, but they generally sit higher than the 50-80down/160up of the Velop...
I also tried using the Quantum in the primary position, turning off the wifi, and running the Velop WAN to Quantum LAN. Ran it both normally and in bridge mode, both to no avail...
Pretty perplexed and hoping someone can suggest some next steps...
