As much as I despise spectrum (and cox/comcast to be truthful), they actually do a fairly reasonable job of getting full speed to their modems.
What speed do you get directly connected to the modem?
If you're paying for "up to 400mbps", they can usually hit that without issues.
And AC1900 is a speed, not a model. What router do you have?
What firmware is on it?

It is the Nighthawk model R7000 with firmware version 1.0.11.110.
I haven't had a chance to test the speed connected directly to the modem.
