10Gb fiber - download speed is far slower than upload speed

Does the Asus support DPI and IDS? If yes, and it is enabled it's very unlikely that it's able to do it at anywhere near 10gbps. Does it export CPU stats or provide a graph?

DPI and ISD?

You mean the Micro Trends security air protection on the Asus router?

If that you mean then I do not enable that air protection on.

What speed do you get if you connect your computer directly to the Sonic ONT, bypassing the router?

CAT6 is fine... I've got CAT6 (not CAT6a) running throughout my house and get 10Gbps with no issues.

My PC on-board NIC card only 1Gb. So, If I connect ONT to the 1Gb NIC card I can get up to near 1Gb for both Down and Up speed.

I do not have the SFP+ Base-T 10Gb transceiver therefore I cannot connect the ONT to my PC.

I need to connect the ONT to Router via 10Gb RJ45 port and fiber cable from router to my PC.
