New Deco x60 owner, noticing issues.

Hi all,
So I recently purchased a set of Deco x60's from Costco and I'm noticing some strange issues.
1. My pings when doing a speedtest used to be (on my old Asus Wifi5 router) around 12-16ms, my pings are now consistently 25+ms. I've tried changing just about every setting in the books, disabled mesh for my PC, still no change, ping is really high. When I go to DSLReports my bufferbloat is absolutely through the roof (1000+ms sometimes) unless I go into QoS and limit my wifi by over half it's potential speed (I can get 220mbps, but I have it limited to 100mbps).
2. Security setting related, I just noticed this. I was trying to get an HP printer to connect, but could not. The way I resolved that issue was changing my security setting from WPA3-Personal + WPA2-AES to WPA2-AES + WPA-TKIP. Printer connected fine after that, great. But the issue when changing that security setting is my main PC's download is chopped down by over half. When I have WPA2 enabled, my max download speed drops to 40mbps, and the pings/bufferbloat go nuts (both WPA2 and WPA2+WPA settings cause this). When I change the setting back to WPA3+WPA2, speeds back to normal.
Wondering if anybody has any thoughts on how to resolve these issues?
Thanks!
1. I just re-tested after removing the other deco's. Ping is still generally the same, 24-32 after multiple tests on my PC
2. Correct, that is what I was thinking. We are actually moving to a new house next week that will be much larger (which is why I bought the deco's :D ) But that brings in my additional comment below. When I change the encryption method to WPA2-WPA, my speeds drop drastically (from 100 that I have capped at to ~40) on my computer, and my OnePlus 7 Pro phone can barely connect (speeds on speedtest.net jump around from 2mbps down to 0, and it cannot even complete the upload process).
Here's the speedtest I just ran on my computer after removing all but main deco and changing the security to WPA2-PSK+WPA-PSK:
And after changing back to WPA3-Personal+WPA2-PSK. After making this change my phone also has no problem connecting:
