I've did tried factory reset. Everything is turned off and the problem is that it looks by default that hardware offloading is disabled by default and as I know for most devices, max speed seems to be lower than 300Mbits on 1Gbit ports.

Try installing version 1.0.3.66 of the firmware to that router. The newer versions got netgear armor and the R6400 was borderline on having enough power to run armor. As evidenced by V2 getting armor and V1 not.
when you downgrade, make sure to do it over a hardwired connection, factory reset afterwards, and then do a clean install (not from backup)
