Router Not recognizing full ISP speeds
The ISP has fiber to the house. I have CAT8 from their box directly to the router (50'). when I went from 25mbps to 100mbps. The router did not reconize that change and I had to do a complete fac...
along with what microchip8 has said,
what ont is it connected to?
If you connect the router directly to it (without the 50' run) with a 6ft cable, do you hit full speeds?
it wouldn't be the first time a bad cable limited speeds to 10/100mbps.
You can check your wan/lan connection speed.

Thank you for the great responses. They were very helpful.
my model is R8000, the QoS is off. I connected a laptop to the wire feed at the router and got 98 in both directions. I then connect the laptop directly into the ISP fiber box and I got 230 mbps down and 200 mbps up. So, it is evidently the the cable, not the router.
I will remake the connectors for the cable and retry. If that does not correct the issue. I will run a new cable.
Thanks' again for the input!
