Third party router poor wifi speed

I've just updated my router to a TP Link GE800. After some messing around, factory resets etc I finally managed to get an internet connection. 
The ethernet connections are good. I'm getting a solid 900mbps on my PS5 etc. The only problem is the wifi... it started off ok. I ran a speedtest and it shot up to 700+ mbps, then promptly plummeted. It's now sitting around 30mbps on my laptop and about 6mbps on my phone.

I have a couple of TP Link mesh wifi extenders, but I cant see how they'd cause a problem...
Does anyone have any ideas what the issue could be?

@Jackslostsanity Turn off all the mesh until you find out what is causing the clash! Whatever your ISP speed is then that is it, If wireless testing Ethernet will need to be disconnected so you get no pauses from that.
