Are you supposed to be seeing 5Gb both UP and Down?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
What brand and model# ethernet adapter are you using that's connected to the back of the RS?
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.

I would like to confirm if my understanding on the issue is correct.
- For the speed tests with RS700, did you run the speed tests (1) from the RS700's Web GUI or from the Nighthawk App? (2) from a PC connected to the RS700?
- You have disabled these functions: Armor, Smart Parental Controls, Traffic Meter, and QoS, and you still got the same results?
