R8000p X6S Slow ethernet speed

I actually have Model R8000P AC4000  Anyway if I hook my ethernet up from my modem directly to my computer I download at 450Mbsp going thru my router I only get between 95 and 115Mbsp. Why is the router not recognizing my actual IP speed?

      Hi Darren

      Firmware Virsion V1.4.1.30_1.2.26 and yes I did a factory Reset twice. I do believe I figured out the problem. I was using an older Linksys switcher, when I upgraded that with a new 8 port switcher with gigabyte technology I have all kinds os speed now. 495 Mbsp down load and 23.5 Mbsp upload. I just installed the switcher last noght.

      Thank You
