V2.3.2.18 slow ethernet speed

After updating firmware to 2.3.2.18 I am unable to get more than 200Mb down even after a factory reset with a killer E2400 gigabit ethernet controller and cat6 cables less than 2 weeks old. On my iphone 8 plus with 5ghz wifi I am getting 650Mb down. My modem is a netgear cm1000. I think I may have to downgrade the firmware.....

Was not the router. Bypassed directly to modem same speed issue. Shortly after reconnecting the router the speeds are back to normal now.

It would be good to isolate whether it is the firmware or a setting change. So could you downgrade back to a previous version and see if speeds return to normal. Thanks
