I have had this issue since upgrading my internet connection to 2.0Gbps
I have had this issue since upgrading my internet connection to 2.0Gbps. Performance across the router from WAN to LAN (download) is 200-300Mbps. After trying many settings, enabling QoS without enab...
- Test was still running this AM without perf /QoS issue so static ip on RAX200 "fixed" the issue.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
Are you using the multi gig port for the connection to the internet modem/ONT or the yellow WAN port combined with LAN1 port on the RAX200?
How are you speed testing? Wired PC is recommended with Ooklas installable speed test app.
Might try a full on factory reset and setup from scratch, be sure to not enable any QoS, Access Controls, Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Traffic Meter after getting to the home screen. Just Configure the internet ports, either WAN port or the Multi-gig ports for your ISP service.

40.00MB/512.00MBI am measuring between the LAN and a Pi file server sitting on a Netgear MS108EUP connected to the WAN port. The MS108EUP is connected to the internet via a TP ER707-M2 and Netgear CM2050V. Internet connection at the MS108EUP is consistently over 2Gbps (XFinity), so I've isolated the issue from LAN (1G) to WAN port (2.5G) using file copy performance. The results are consistent with SPEEDTEST to Lumen Technologies in Seattle (800+Mbps from the LAN side, 2+Gbps from the MS108EUP connect min-pc). The internal LAN performance is 800+Mbps using file copy.
Ya, I was going to try resetting, but turning those features off makes no performance difference I can see. I do see a message in the log I have not seen before, but modem has not reported an issue for some time.

https://kb.netgear.com/30008/How-do-I-view-or-clear-the-event-logs-on-my-NETGEAR-cable-modem-or-modem-routerOne issue and problem with these RAX and RAXE series routers is that the Yellow WAN port and LAN ports are only 1Gb rated max. Only the MG port is rated for Multi-Gig higher speeds. However this port can only be used either in LAN mode or WAN mode which if you set it up for Internet use, then still leaves the rest of the LAN ports at 1Gb max rate thus speeds over the LAN ports won't go over 1gb ever. However you could see over 1Gb speeds over the WiFi on 5ghz if you have something that supports 4x4 mimo which can connect at much higher speeds than the LAN ports if you have the RAX using the MG port to the CM modem.
Yes, I have tested every combination, and I understand the 1Gbps LAN will limit perf, this is expected. I have the 2.5G WAN port enabled and connected to my 2.5G switch and 2.5G Modem (via ER707-M2) which can get 2.0+G as measured on my B100 Mini PC via SPEEDTEST. I disabled DoS protection on the RAX200 on a hunch, LOL. So far so good. Theory here is the DoS protection is identifying the speed test as DoS and......throttling it.
