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...
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.

QoS is off, tried a complete factory reset but still nothing.
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:

"so I decided to set the router to AP mode, and voila, 750Mbit."
Does your modem allow for multiple users? Turning off the router (turning on AP mode) means no NAT, no SPI, etc -- just a Gigabit switch with wireless built-in.

He's got a modem/router combo unit that he mentioned.
