Xr1000 Download/Upload speeds

So i'm running the latest firmware on the xr1000.  I have done the resets, I have a Cat7 cable from modem to router.  When I run speed test on ookla after my router has been restarted I get 947 or so on Download, 946 or so on upload.   After about 15 minutes or so I re-run speed test and my Download speed drops off to around 850 to 900 and my upload drops down to 165 or 150.   QOS is disabled.  No Congestion control.   It is the same on multiple PCS on my network.  I see the same drop.   If i'm hooked directly to my modem I get my full speeds up and down.   I'm on fiber 1gb connection up and down.   Been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks.

    So the issue ended up being with my isp.  They had recently moved my modem onto a different server thus causing the issues i was having. They gave me a new modem and put me on my old server i was originally on and now its working like a champ.. Thank you for the advice and help.

  • Do you know if you use PPPoE, VLAN or DHCP identifiers in order to get connected to the internet?

        How have you disabled QoS exactly by setting Congestion Control to Never or disabling it fully from the Congestion Control 3 horizontal line menu top left of the panel?
