Maximum speed is limited on R8000. What parameters may cause this?

Question

Hi,&nbsp;My router was working at its top speed (1000 Mbps) until we moved.&nbsp;Now, although the ISP speed is still 1000 Mbps (fiber), I am getting ~250 Mbps maximum. Frankly, if I reset the router to its factory-defaults, the speed goes back up to 1000.&nbsp;Since my home network is highly customized, I rather not go through the trouble of reconfiguring everything starting from a factory reset. So, I tried to find what setting(s)/parameter(s) may be causing this speed limitation and change it to get back to max speed, but nothing worked. I have the QoS disabled, so, it's not the speed settings in there.&nbsp;Do you know or may have any suggestions about what may be causing this speed limitation, and if I can bring it back to 1000 Mbps without having to go through a factort reset and reconfiguration of my home network from scratch?&nbsp;Thanks.

Have you tried testing it from the modem to see if you are getting full speed there?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Addendum:&nbsp;I had limited speeds with Access Control (AC) disabled or enabled.&nbsp;After I did a factory reset today and reloaded the configuration, the speed was limited with Access Control enabled.&nbsp;Once I disabled the AC, the speed went back up to its max! This is puzzling, since the speed was already limited before enabling AC.&nbsp;Anyway, just posting this in case this order of events may help anyone else.&nbsp;Cheers.

Thanks for the reply, but as I mentioned, I was getting the full speeds from this router after doing a factory-reset, indicating that the ISP speed was not the issue.
