It actually DOES affect the 2.5 port. IF I set it to 500 down, then my devices average 470, if I set it to 1000, I get about 870, the actual speed SHOULD be 1150 mbps down, but I am limited to 1000.

Welp, if you have the CM3000 connected to the multi gig port, most likely you are getting your over 1Gb speed at this port. However since ALL other ports are limited to 1Gb max, setting QoS to anything higher would not work since all other LAN ports max out at 1Gb. So this maybe why you can't set QoS to anything over 1Gb.
Only way to attempt to check this would be to have the MG port connected to the CM modem and have a 4x4 wireless device connected to the 6Ghz wifi signal then run your speed test there. If all is connected here, then you may see over 1Gb speeds on wireless. Otherwise, your limited to 1Gb on the LAN port side. NG didn't add MG LAN ports until the BE series. Same issue we saw on Orbi AX systems. MG ports but no MG LAN ports until the 960 appeared. Then BE series saw more MG LAN ports.
