Nighthawk XR500 slow output

My new nighthawk XR500 router only puts out about 100Mbps wifi and LAN.

 

When i hook my PC directly to my modem i get downloads speed at 505Mbps

When i hooked up the router and did the setup router saw 508Mbps

But when i have my PC connected to the router i only get 100Mbps downloads (lan and wifi)

Fimware: 

V2.3.2.56

new Cat8 cables

QoS on or off makes no differance bit slower with it on

Have connected to different LAN ports

 

Router is brand new so i don't think something is wrong with it just some setting i know nothing about can ony one hlep?

Have you changed any QoS settings? If you disable QoS completely from the Anti-Bufferbloat option menu does that help?

I had to do a second factory reset for some reason (on a brand new unit) and now it is working fine.
