Hi I have the same issue , recently upgraded to the 1gig package and I’m only getting 350 ish from the speed tests from this router, had the isp on the phone nd there saying my ont profile has been updated and reset twice but still the same speeds , I have disabled qos and no difference at all , have updated the new speeds in the part where you tell it’s the speed of your internet , but should not matter as all my qos is disabled
im at a lost now any help
is it the firmware ? Any new beta out there to check

I have it wired via cat6 cable.
I did try to have the modem connect directly to my PC but it didn't work at all lol.
QoS has always been turned off but I will check again
