The patch cable between the router and PC is at least 5e, right?

PC does have SSD so I don't think that has an effect (if so, it's marginal).
And yes call cabling is at least 5e if the builder is to be believed (the limiting connection is the comm panel to the wall jack that my patch cable feeds into) All additional cables used are 6/6e cut and crimped by a friend.

Ah I should've mentioned- by default Asus disables QoS on the routers so I didn't think to mention it but you're right.
Godwin is likely correct in that the gigabit connection is being split across devices, and I'm guessing my hardware is having trouble keeping up as well. It's a small condo with 2 users (though concurrent devices at times) so I'm just going to pretend to be happy with 500mbps. on my newer devices.
