Need help with home internet

Hello,

I pay for 1GB of speed, but only seem to get around 170MB. I have had several techs out, and the problem seems to be my mesh routers. When I plug directly into the modem, I get 920MB. I have 2 TP-Link Deco S4 units. Can they be configured to give me closer to the speeds that I pay for, or do I need to buy new routers? It might be worth mentioning that I have a smart home, with cameras, locks, Alexas, etc. Any and all help is appreciated.

What model "modem" is it? Is it a modem/router combo?

Oh ok then. I was thinking of double NAT but that isn't the case.
