I don't have a symmetric 1Gbps/1Gbps connection, but I had no problems hitting 1 Gbps download even after 2 weeks of operations on my RAX43. My upload is only 50 Mbps so I can't test that.
Which firmware version are you using? (not "the latest", a number)
What modem are you using?

microchip8 , the latest firmware

I have the same FW as you and no issues here. Do you have traffic meter enabled?
Also, what modem/ONT is in front of the RAX43?
You can try factory reset and reconfigure from scratch (don't use a saved settings file. It defeats the purpose of factory reset)

no traffic meter
have attempted factory default with scratch config, one HW PC then iMAC (both 1000Mbps ethernet connection established to router) connected at a time. same result. shows 925/950 for a period of time after reboot then drops into 250/80 through HW connection and 450-600/80 through wireless connection.
