We recently upgraded to a fiber connection 1000mbit/s when testing on the router I can only reach 250 mbit/s.
after connection my pc directly to the fiber I am able to download at full potential.
To me that means that there is a problem with the router love to heara some idea's
gateway is kind of important. I'd look at it to ensure you're not in a double nat (running 2 routers in router mode)

Also, the R7000 isn't known for the best firmware. Have you tried installing version 1.0.9.42 of the firmware, factory resetting, and manually installing it?

After the upgrade, did you ever reset the router? I'd try that.
