Just so you don't have unrealistic expectations, the R7000 will never hit 900mbps over wireless. Smallnetbuilder did reviews of it and the matching Asus router. under OPTIMAL conditions (no wireless interference, obstructing objects, etc) the 2.4ghz average throughput was 96mbps and the 5ghz was 240mbps. Thats average and not peak performance but its a realistic expectation of performance over wireless. They both had peaks around 400mbps but again, thats not sustained and its with the best signal.
I'd recommend reading the article. The performance has improved a little with firmware updates but its still a relevant look at how that class of router performs.
900 Mbps is not possible on the 2.4 GHz band. If you're using mostly the 5 GHz band, make sure your wifi adapters support high speeds. Also, there's no "proper" way to connect your router to your Uverse modem. All you can do is plug in the ethernet cable into the modem and set the modem in bridge mode if you can.
Also make sure you don't use anything that needs to inspect packets first (like QoS, Traffic meter, etc) as it will disable CTF (hardware acceleration)
