Wired Speeds R7000
We have the R7000 for a while now and I noticed that after upgrading to 750Mbit connection, the router doesn't go higher than 350 capped.
Directly into the modem does 750/750 without any problems.
QoS is off, tried a complete factory reset but still nothing.

Have you ENABLED QoS, updated the SPEED TEST, and then DISABLED QoS and rebooted? That old setting for the Speed might be holding you back?
It doesn't :(
After enabling it, the speedtest of the router measured 450Mbit which is a bit higher than before.
After disabling it, it reboots automatically and we're back at 350Mbit again.
Not sure what to do here, and why this is happening.
I don't know why that is happening (but I suspect a Netgear bug). I you want to find out for sure, here is a test procedure: duckware.com/wifi#testwan2lan
Seems like on hell of a read for something that's not on my end. I can just claim a warrenty issue.
I just don't want to yet cause it's a very nice router.
Try using DMZ on the Draytek modem/router combo for the R7000 while in Router mode and see if this helps. Do a factory reset on the R7000 and don't touch or configure, QoS, Traffic Meter or Access Control after setting it up. Just configure WIFI settings and see if this helps.

Will have to contact NG support. Might ask them to see if there is any beta FW builds available that you can test.
There was one person on here who got speeds after doing a factory reset and not touching or configuring QoS, Traffic Meter and Acess Controls. Seemed to work for him.

A little update,
I unplugged everything, for an hour. After that I connect the router to the modem, turned modem on, when it was ready, the router.
When the router was ready, I plugged in my pc and had 500mbit.
That was without touching anything, so I decided to set the router to AP mode, and voila, 750Mbit.
So the router is fine, but the other PC still only has 400mbit, even with other cables. So my guess is that the onboard NIC is faulty.
Gonna buy a seperate PCIe card for that pc to see if that terminates the problem.
R7000 is still rocking ;)
Glad you found the problem.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
