CAX30 (AX2700) Nighthawk Slow Internet Speeds

I just moved into a new place and bought a CAX30 modem/router to go with my new gigabit internet plan. When I run a speedtest directly on the router I usually see around 700-800mbs which ins't quite the 940 I'm paying for but I haven't even made it to that bridge to cross it yet. I have my PC hardwired into my router via CAT6 cable and the highest speed I have managed to measure on my PC is consistently around 250mbs. I have tried hardwiring several other devices into the router as well, all with similar results. Consistently around 250mbs. I feel like I have pretty well confirmed the issue isn't on my PC side and I spent some time on the phone with Cox verifying the issue wasn't on their side. The fact that I see these high speeds on the router but not on any of my devices seem to confirm that. 

I'm pulling my hair out here, I cannot figure out why I can't get these speeds on my devices. 

Notes: 

Model: CAX30 Cable Modem Router Combo 

Router to PC wire: Cat 6

Traffic Monitoring: Disabled

Access Control: Disabled
Parental Controls: Disabled

QoS: Can't find the option to disable this?

Router Speed Test Reported Speed: 700-800mbs

Hardwired devices reported speed: 250mbs

Wifi Speeds: 220mbs

Post Factory Reset: Same results 
Speedtest methods: Cox speedtest, ookla windows app (to avoid potential browser bottlenecks), google speed test, fast speed test

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated

Id contact NG support and ask for help and information regarding this. If different wired PCs are seeing same low speed, I would persume the modem could be faulty.
