Seems like the new Firmware Version 1.0.4.128 is holding up so far with me getting 475mbps on a 500mbps plan for wired..

Well, I finally gave up on my speed-restricted-Netgear R6700v3 router which replaced my older N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v3. I was proud to stay with Netgear, but now have new thoughts. As crazy as it is, I found an Asus RT-N66R router at goodwill for $9 at few months back to simply use it as a 1gigbit switch. However, it has now replaced the R67000v3 as my primary router. Here is proof that the R6700v3 has issues with speed limitations.
I know it is not the answer most folks want to hear. But maybe if Netgear reads this then they will research why this is happening and release a new firmware. I can live with USB2 ports on the Asus for now.
