You're not the only one experiencing this. '
heres a couple things you can try.
1. Make sure the firmware is current.
2. Factory reset the router. when you install make sure not to enable qos, triffic monitoring, data monitor, circle, parental controls, etc. Anything that monitors data can reduce the speeds.
3. If you don't have IPv6 enabled, try enabling it.
4. If none of that works, try turning on qos, seeing if you can manually set the speed for gigabit. test it.
5. then disabling qos.
Nothing fixing it? I'd highly recommend opening a case with support if you're within your 90 day window. Multiple users have reported this issue and the more that open a support case with netgear, the more resources netgear is liable to devote to resolving it.

1. All firmware is up to date.
2. All disable. No positive efect. speed still the same.
3. I did enable IPv6. reboot router. No positive efect. speed is still the same.
4. did what you ask with same results as above. No positve efect. speed is still the same.
5. my 90 day pass sometime last month so nothing a can do about it now.
