I ended up having to do a complete reset and reconfig of my router to start getting the right speeds through my ISP.
I verified through fast.com, speedtest.net, and my ISPs speed test sight. All giving me aroung 950Mbps.

This issue went away after doing the most recent firmware upgrade through the automatic upgrade process.
I had called support and they were about to have me to a same version "update" of the firmware to see if there was a corruption of the current firmware. We didn't because I had done the temp fix and wasn't able to do it when I was on the phone with them.
