R7000 slow download speeds
only realized after 8 months that my R7000 router always has a download speed close to 3-5 mbps when my ISP provided me 75mbps upload/download. I got latest firm ware updated and customer service ...
- If you have not already, I would reset the router to defaults and without doing any configuration other the connect to the Internet, no wifi etc. Now see what speed you have with a computer connected to Ethernet port. If it is good then add your configuration back in one thing at a time and test again. This should get you to what configuration option that is causing the slowdown.

Do you get the same issue with a wired computer? What is your ISP service e.g. Cable or DSL? If DSL have you tried lowering the router MTU, 1492 is the typical maximum for DSL but you could try lower values e.g. 1400 or 1350? Are LAN-LAN file transfers also slow?
