I do. The vibrating alarm has been a fantastic addition to my life.

It's absolutely possible. It's not that you're using a third-party router, but rather the one you'r using may be too slow. I ran into this personally -- I had a Netgear R7900 that wouldn't get anywhere near the gigabit speeds I was paying for. Connected directly to the ISP's fiber ONT, I got the full 940 up and down. Connected through my Netgear router, I'd get maybe 330 maximum using the same Ethernet cables.
Factory resetting it would fix it for a few hours, then it would slow down again. QoS was switched off. Finally, replacing the router with an Asus RT-AC86U completely solved the problem for me. That was a few years ago, so I'm sure there's better stuff out there now, but this one keeps right on trucking. (And I'm like you, I only use wireless when I have to. Everything that can be wired, is.)
One other thing that was slowing me down a bit: the little Anker Thunderbolt dock I use to connect my laptop couldn't really do the full gigabit. It'd top out at maybe 650 Mbit. Mostly adequate, but it was definitely slowing down my laptop. I doubt that's your issue as slow as you're seeing, but something else to check on.
It happens when you use the Sleep focus as your alarm. It also has the benefit of keeping the screen off during that time, and blocks accidental inputs when you sleep.
Take a look on YouTube; there are some tutorials on setting it up.
