Mine updated automatically (so it showed firmware was up-to-date) - didn't even realise until I looked at the firmware version.

Speedtest results are weird though - I wonder if it has the CPU to handle speedtest properly.

Using CLI on my Mac:
Code: 
      Server: StarHub Ltd - Singapore (id: 4235)
         ISP: StarHub
Idle Latency:     2.82 ms   (jitter: 0.56ms, low: 2.32ms, high: 3.38ms)
    Download:  7726.52 Mbps (data used: 10.6 GB)
                  8.79 ms   (jitter: 1.05ms, low: 2.96ms, high: 18.69ms)
      Upload:  5785.57 Mbps (data used: 10.1 GB)
                  3.24 ms   (jitter: 0.48ms, low: 2.89ms, high: 8.86ms)

The speedtest result on your Mac is toward the lower side compared to other Starhub users (you can see Henry Ng consistently gets about 8.2Gbps download now), but still acceptable.

As far as built-in OOkla SpeedTest result, the CPU used by TP-Link EB810v is already the best you can get for consumer wireless routers -- Qualcomm IPQ9570 series (IPQ9570 or IPQ9574, quad-core Arm Cortex A73 at 2.2GHz). It is not able to get 8.2Gbps probably, but users of Singtel HB810 (same Qualcomm IPQ9570 series CPU) has got quite good number with Singtel 10Gbps.

FYI, Qualcomm BCM4916 (quad-core Arm Cortex A53 at 2.6GHz) used by flagship Asus WiFi 7 routers are much smaller and can only reach 4Gbps based on the reports with built-in OOkla SpeedTest results.

Take note Arm Cortex A73 core is much faster than Cortex A53 core.

Reference number from Singtel 10Gbps with TP-Link HB810. But then he is testing in AP mode so CPU is not handling the routing and firewall function (behind Singtel ONR).

Speedtest on aginet app where you get it? What is Wifi MLO?

from the app itself for the speedtest. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) is a feature of Wi-Fi 7 that allows devices to connect to multiple wireless frequencies at once, and transmit and receive data across multiple bands simultaneously.

You meant the mobile app? Why not speed test from the laptop?

My gut feeling is they upgraded some local capacity/interconnects, but not all. I've had higher in the past, but really don't care as long as its stable and at least 5gbit/s+

Quite some people do not have 10G capable device.

They may not want to pay for the OWC TB3 to 10G NIC like what you did.

But there are cheaper options.
1) For desktop, the PCI-E adapters are not expensive. In fact it can be very cheap at below S$20 if you buy from Taobao, if you have a empty PCI-E x4 or x8 slot.

2) For laptop and Mac, USB4/TB4/TB3 to 10G NIC from IOcrest and GRiS (Taobao) is below S$150.

That is because you are still running the older FW version.

It is said that the new FW of EB810v will add that functionality.

Deco BE85 has the OOkla SpeedTest function --> HB810 has the function (said to have the same HW design or at least almost the same HW design)

Archer BE800 has the OOKla SpeedTest function --> EB810v did not have the function but now the new FW update is supposed to add this function (said to have very similar HW design)

Don't remember seeing anything about USB. Layout seems same as before (though it is in AP mode so some of the items different to Router Mode).
