your test results are probably very inaccurate, because as hulk-bd said, to do the test, the router needs to generate a lot of random data, which eats a LOT of CPU. This is why you need to do the test in this way:
VERY POWERFUL PC --> Testrouter 1 ~~~ Testrouter 2 --> VERY POWERFUL PC 2
Make the test from PC to PC so that the test link is in the middle. SO their CPUs will not be affected by the test itself, only by the traffic.
The test PCs can be even Windows machines, we have a Bandwidth test program for Windows on our download page.
