AC2300 (Nighthawk R7000P) help

So I bought a new router a couple of days go because my other one took a dive... So my problem is I have Spectrum 400 and before I was getting 340mbps down and now I can barely get over 280mbps on a down, is there a setting I'm missing or is the Spectrum modem not liking my new router?

    What spectrum modem are you using?

    Firmware on the R7000p?

    How are you testing it? Hardwired, wireless, speedtest.net? Device?

        if you hook directly to the modem, do you get full speeds?

        Did you enable QoS on the R7000P? If not, try enabling it and speedtesting. Afterwards disable it and see how it performs. Some have found that to help.
