I'm testing using the downloaded speed test.net app on my computer and phone located maybe 4 feet from the router. Getting the full speed straight from the modem, yes.
Firmware: XR1000V2 1.1.0.16_2.1.25
Modem: Spectrum DOCSIS 3.1 eMTA
I am using CAT6 cables and set the channels to the ones you recommended.
So far it's still in the 400 range. Please let me know if you have any other ideas!

I should clarify: Ethernet speed has improved to 900
5G signal has not improved at all.
I've checked wifi and there is no interfering signal in my area.

Ensure the router is in an elevated position - not on a metal surface
Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proximity ~3 feet if possible
Set the antennae to this position _ | | _
Then see if that improves it. What is the device you're testing the WiFi speeds on also?
