R7000P Slow Wired network

I just had Xfinity out to check my ISP network and they were getting 800 -900 Mbps download and 45 Mbps upload from the modem directly.

 

I log into my R7000P and I ran the speed test and I am seeing  198.97 Mbps and 42.1 Mbps respectively.

 

Can anyone explain why the R7000P is dropping bandwidth?

Firmware: V1.3.1.64_10.1.36

    not without a lot more details.

    1. What modem are you using? 

    2. What speeds do YOU get off the modem? Not your isp, but you. 

    3. are you testing over wired/wireless? You put wired in your title but want to be sure. Website using?

    4.are you using any traffic monitoring such as armor, circle, parental controls, qos, etc?

    5. What device are you using specifically for testing?

    6. Since the firmware that installed armor to your device, have you reset the router at all? Some devices had issues with armor and responded well to a factory reset and manual reinstall of the device. have you tried this?
