Slow WiFi Speed on Nighthawk R8000

It turns out the problem was attributable to Comcast. They symptoms made it appear that it was the router, but Comcast determined it was their exterior lines and they put a filter on the line coming into my building and that took care of it. Now I'm getting 180mbps through the both the Nighthawk router and the Xfinity gateway! Thanks.
Having the same problem. Devices plugged directly into my Comcast modem get 150 mbps downloads, but devices plugged into my Nighthawk R8000 can do 50 mbps max. Since the R8000 is capable of higher speeds, I'm assuming there must be some conflict between the settings on the Comcast model and the R8000? I've disabled bridge mode on the Comcast modem. Thanks.
