Wire Guard VPN Killing My Speeds

I had to get a new router from Verizon (cr1000a) after installed OpenVPN kept disconnecting every 2 hours. Our IT tried a few things but nothing worked, they switched me to wire guard and I no longer drop but now my WiFi speed and Ethernet speed are down drastically. I have an Asus A17 w/ an ax210 WiFi adapter.

WiFi speeds with vpn 250down / 50up
WiFi speeds without vpn 450 / 400

Ethernet with vpn 240 / 47
Ethernet with out vpn 900 / 950

IT says they think that’s normal, I’ve tried all the setting changes recommended by AI but nothing seems to help. All searches say my speeds should be reduced that much.

IPv6 was turned off because searches say the fios cr1000a router has issues with that.

The Asus gaming has been disabled.

Anyone have any suggestions to try. Google searches always recommend WiFi adapter changes but I don’t think it’s any of those settings since it affects both the WiFi and Ethernet. I did try them anyway but nothing ever changes.
