Hello,
It's a EU2551 Specs are here - https://d15yx0mnc9teae.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/2018-08/spectrum_d31_emta_data_sheet.pdf
Manually set the speeds, are you taking about the XR1000 itself as I have done that, or is there a way to change it on the cable modem?
Thanks

How are you measuring the speeds? Are you using a third-party speed-test such as speedtest.net? Or are you using the in-built Connection Benchmark?

Hello,
I went through the entire guide disabling QOS and didn't make any difference, same results. I just don't know what else to try at this point

Try using Ooklas installable speed test app on a wire connected PC.
Running speedtest.net in a browser, the browser can cause results to be inaccurate.
What CAT# lan cable are you using between the XR router and modem? CAT6 is recommended.
If you have QoS disabled after a factory reset and setup from scratch, should should see near 900Mbps or maybe just a bit over on a 1Gb download using the speedtest app on a wired PC.
