AX1800 - 300Mbps in, but only 100Mbps out
Windows 10, Spectrum 300 Mbps internet via ES2251 modem I've verified the firmware is up to date. I've checked the drivers. I've power cycled it and the Spectrum modem. Multiple times. I've ...
Well, I've again tried resetting everything. Tried even more CAT6 cables. Disabled QOS on a co-workers suggestion. Still I get only 100 MBps.
At least when I return it, I can feel satisfied that I tried everything I could.

Modern eco-friendly packaging that is, and the eggs-box-like cardboard insert.
Instead looking on the packaging, what does the router itself say, model label, et all - and last but not least, the Web interface.
Somehow I'm under the impression, you got an very inexpensive router, like an R6020 instead - and not an R6700AX.

Have you bought a refurbished unit from Amazon? Suspect fraud ... some Amazon customer has returned an old device in an R6700AX box - and the poor or non-existing return logistics hadn't catched it.

I received a Netgear modem in that sort of packaging years ago.

The only recent packaging I have seen from Netgear (last year), was the "NAS" version with all the usual ecohorrors in the way of printing inks.
The "paper" insert certainly replaced plastic foam a whole back.
Making devices themselves out of bamboo rather than plastic never caught on widely.
