CM1100 Throttle?
Alright, so this has been puzzling me for nearly 6 months now. And for the fifth time I had a Field Tech come to my home to test all of the cables I have already tested at least four times before. ...

The laptop I do have has issues with it's image. So I just went and looked in the Router's settings, disabled the only one I found to be enabled (Access Control), rebooted the router. Ran a Speedtest on my Desktop, getting roughly 800-900Mbps (Within tolerance I do believe.) Oddly, when running the built-in optional speed test on the R8000 itself, it only gets around 300Mbps. Is that normal?

You put what your speeds are coming out of the router but what speeds do you get with your pc directly connected to the modem?
And how are you testing? (sites/apps/etc)

We (The tech and I) tested the speeds from the coax coming out of the wall (Approximately 1398Mbps), his test device (Dunno what the testing device was, but it was similar to my VDV scout, barring likely more technical) couldn't pull data or anything from the modem, at all. However he could pull roughly 300Mbps from a LAN port on my Router.
My computer has similar results (Testing using Ookla (Speedtest.net), as mentioned above.) 200-300Mbps
