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...

    Case850, I would love to test everything, only problem is that our ISP is blocking out the option to bridge the Draytek, they just simply don't allow it, it's greyed out. Probably it's because our television is also running through the same modem.
     
    So I think that means i'm stuck at AP mode, until they either give us more options or another modem.
     
     
     
     
     
     An older Firmware didn't do the trick for me, but that was two days ago when the whole infastructure was giving headaches, so I could give that a try again soon.

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.
