What isp gateway is it?
What firmware is on the R7000?
Since the service upgrade, did you ever try a factory reset and reinstall of the r7000?
have done a reset fresh installation have latest firmware , isp is in greece have also changed cables
What "the latest" verison do you have? We ask for a reason and the R7000 isn't known for the best firmware or for even "on the latest" when people say it is.
And what gateway/modem do you have? I didn't need who you're isp is, I needed what gateway model it is
While you evaluate all the other good advice here, you should also carefully read the fine print of the service offered by your Internet Service Provider. It's possible that their fastest advertised speed *might* only be available via a hardware based accelerator that runs only on the wifi router they provided, and via a wired connection. For example, that's the case with my Spectrum service. I forget what it's called, but the fasted available speed only happens when connected to my Spectrum provided router.
