Do you have QoS enabled? If so, consider turning it off and rebooting. Or, more drastically, perform a factory reset followed by a minimal config (Wi-Fi and LAN settings).

Hi TheEther,
Thank you for your prompt reply unfortunately still not getting the expected speed.
R8000:
- Advanced Tab > Show Statistics: WAN, LAN1 & 2 are showing 1000M/Full.

MacMini:

- In Network Preferences > Advanced Settings > Hardware: Configure is set to automatically and the speed is 1000BastT (greyed out).
It might not be due to the MacMini because it got the speed when the Cisco dpc3848v moden was plugged directly into it. Futhermore my Macbook (802.11n) is getting the same 100 mbps (instead on 175 mbps).
What else should I try?

Turning off QOS did it.
I now have 175Mbps download speed.
Thank you very much for your help.
