R9000 Slow Wired/LAN performance

I've tested the following situations and in each the LAN performance test it has not exceeded 55Mbps (both intranet and internet).

 

Netgear:

Firmware Version 1.0.5.18

Firmware Version 1.0.5.24

 

Voxel:

R9000-V1.0.4.45HF.zip

R9000-V1.0.4.45.2HF.zip

 

Tests included using Speedtest.net across multiple server locations, on a gigabit connection, directly connected to a SB8600 modem. Tests on the intranet were done using simple file copy, LAN Speed Test Lite, iperf, and rsync [progress flag] in all cases, machines were directly connected to R9000.

 

This wireless and wired connection was verified using other routers (ASUS RT-AC68U, Google Nest 2020, TP-Link AC1750), and in each case performance exceeded 900Mbps when directly connected to the routers or in the case of the Nest - via a switch connected to the router.

 

Multple cables were tested, from basic cat-5 through cat-7, none exceeding 10 feet.

 

All LAG was disabled, as was any QOS.

 

Ports 2-8 were tested in each case and they all perform equally poorly.

 

What am I missing?
