R7000 doesnt meet half of what my wifi spwed should be.
Ive changed channels, upgrades QoS, eliminated wifi from base modem/router and nothing. Of the 50 mbs Im suppposed to see, I only get, if lucky 20. At an average, I see 10. Are there otuer tweaks I can employ?

If you've been changing the attached device (router or PC) that connects to the modem you'll have a problem connecting as the modem is looking for a specific MAC Address.
Here is what you need to do:
- POWER all PC's, the ROUTER, and the MODEM OFF
- Next power ON the MODEM and wait for it to come on line (lights all basically on, but some might flash), a few minuted maybe depending on the modem.
- Next power ON the router and wait for it to fully come up, again, a few minutes.
- Next the PC and all the wireless to connect, the wired ones will automatically.
That should fix it.

I'd leave QoS OFF and make sure WMM is on.
Since you turned off WiFi then you are connect hard wired to the router, correct? First try using the same wire to the modem and see what speed you get. You must turn off the power to both the modem and router as well so the modem recognizes the PC. Now check the speed. If it is 50Mbps or higher, good. Now turn off the modem and reconnect the router to it and the PC to the router. Now power them up, Modem first, then the router, then the PC. Now test the speed again.
If it still is LOW, verify the router to modem cable is good? Use a different cable if low.
I'll assume, but can't be sure what you are complaining about though. Most of your post seems to be about wireless, but you said you eliminated wireless from your modem/router?
The above testing I posted is for a wired connection, and that is the only sure way to tell if you are getting full speed. Wireless not always can reach that full speed.
Now if you are talking about WIRELESS, what speed is the device you have, AC/N/G? How far away from the router is it? What is your Security set too? What are you using to test? I ask because I have an older iPad that has a single antennea and even though I have 100Mbps service I only see 30Mbps or less on it. My new iPad Pro however has multiple antennae's and it reads over 100Mbps.
So more info would be better here. Disabling QoS will help if you are on wireless, but verify with a wired connection that the router CAN deliver 50Mbps first.
- I have all hardwired items connected to the modem/router provided by the ISP. The R7000 is serving as a wifi router and it is wired to the modem/router as well. I have wifi turned off on the modem and any wifi in the house is coming from the R7000.
I subscribe to 50/50 f rom the ISP. I get approximately that hard wired. With the 6300 i averaged 35 mps down and 45 mps up. With the R7000. I am well below 20 mps down and about 35 mps up. Its supposed to be a better router. No tweaks other than the QoS switch mentioned above.
Now I cant even sign on to the router page. Im getting an error message. Seems to be getting worst by the hour. So disappointed.What MODE is the router in may I ask? Advanced Tab, Advanced Setup, Router / AP / Bridge / Repeating Mode shows what mode you are in, possibly AP?
The modem should be in BRIDGED mode and then connected to the Router which serves the wired and wireless devices. If the modem can produce wireless signals it is not in Bridged mode. However I don't think this matters.
What IS the error message?
Open a COMMAND PROMPT and enter IPCONFIG /ALL and paste in the Ethernet section please, it should look like this:
