gateway is kind of important. I'd look at it to ensure you're not in a double nat (running 2 routers in router mode)

Also, the R7000 isn't known for the best firmware. Have you tried installing version 1.0.9.42 of the firmware, factory resetting, and manually installing it?

Re: speedtest low results
What router do you have?
Firmware on it?
What fibre gateway do you have?
After the upgrade, did you ever reset the router? I'd try that.
Also, make sure to leave qos, parental controls, access controls, and traffic monitoring all disabled.

what site are you using for testing?
Are you testing hardwired or wireless?
