Re: Not getting full wired speeds R6100 connected to a CM1000 Modem

So like the title says, I have my desktop directly wired into my R6100 Router. My router is wired into my CM1000 Modem with Xfinity as my provider. When I connect directly to my modem I'm getting 700mbps download no problem. But then when I switch everything over to my Router my speed drops to 90mbps tops. I'm confused and hoping it is just an issue in the settings that I can't figure out. Xfinity support was less help than the internet because I own the Modem so they "can't do much". Any help is appreciated.
Also I just upgraded the firmware to 1.0.1.28

According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN on that device support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX wired Ethernet. That makes it significantly slower than your Internet service.
Nothing will work faster than 100 Mbps on that router.
It was first released in 2013, but even then it is puzzling that Netgear would have released something that slow then.

Sadly, this will do nothing to update the hardware.

How would you define "full wired speeds" for an R6100?
