R8000 can only get full speed if I factory reset it, but it only lasts for few minutes.

My broadband plan is 1Gbps and I use R8000.

I did a factory reset.

Then I plugged in the ethernet cable and did Speed Test , at beginning I can get 950Mbps, but a few minutes later I can only get about 300Mbps-400Mbps.

My pc was the only device that connected to R8000

Firmware version: V1.0.4.68_10.1.75

Does anyone know how to solve?

Thanks.

    how are you speedtesting? 

    Using the built in app? 

    Using speedtest through the browser?
    what device are you testing on? 

    What modem are you using?

       - speedtest app and speedtest website, they all give the same speed around 300-400Mbps

      Using the built in app? 

       - the built in speedtest also gives the same speed.

      what device are you testing on?
