Hello everyone, I have an R7000 Nighthawk. I have the 400Mbps package from Spectrum, and when my desktop computer is hardwired into their Modem (EN2251) I am receiving 450Mbps or higher. The issu...

did you ever factory reset and test if from the defaults?
problem with having qos/access control/traffic monitoring/parental controls enabled is that they disable cut through forwarding. Its the service needed to hit gigabit speeds. And I've seen it get disabled because those services were on but not get re-enabled when the services were disabled. So try a factory reset. Test it from its default speeds.

I've noticed that even without gigibit speeds (I'm running 100Mbps) allowing cut through forwarding reduces jitter and improves my VOIP quality. I'm wondering if also turning off WMM (which is a form of QoS) would enable cut through forwarding on wireless traffic and reduce jitter.
