If the Bridged mode is what I think it is, it is probably because your ISP is
using NAT and then your AIRPORT Extreme is using NAT. In some circumstances
mostly when attempting to use VPN software, this double NATTING can cause
problems. If you switch the AIRPORT to Bridged mode, then all of your devices
will be fully visible to the ISP network unless you configure some of the
firewall options.
In terms of the speed you mention, I am not particularly aware of this view. It
might have to do with distances and or protocols of WiFi being used. The
Extreme supports at list (N), (a) and (b) versions of 802.11 and probably also
the 802.11ac standard. Though I would think even the speed of the HomePod
should be sufficient for most Audio needs.
Best wishes,
