Both wifi and ethernet giving off half my bandwith speed of only 50mbps. Should be 100mbps from att modem.

Measured how?

What is your "att modem"? Maker? Model number? Is it actually a
modem, or is it a modem+router?
What speed do you see if your computer/device is connected directly
to your (unspecified) "att modem"?
(Note: "m" = "milli" = 1/1000. "M" = "mega" = 1000000.)
AT&T modem model BGW210 with bandwidth of 1000 megabitpersec. My network is att+modrm+Nighthawk router+devices =50mbps. If i connect directly to att modem using my laptop ehtermet is 95-100mbps. Using speedtest.

Some _parts_ of it can operate at 1000Mb/s.
A BGW210[-700?] is a "gateway" (modem+router), not a simple modem.
Cascading multiple routers can cause multiple problems.Given that you already had a wireless router in the BGW210[-700?],
why did you add the R7000?If your goal was to extend the wireless-network coverage of the
BGW210[-700?], the you might want to configure the R7000 as a wireless
access point (leaving the BGW210[-700?] as your router).Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
"Set Up the Router as a WiFi Access Point".
If the R7000 has some especially desirable router features, then you
might want to configure the BGW210[-700?] as a modem-only ("bridge"
mode), and use the R7000 as your only router.> (Note: "m" = "milli" = 1/1000. "M" = "mega" = 1000000.)
Still true.
