NightHawk r6700v3 Slow wired speed.
To start this off my setup is Astound Broadband -> Netgear CM1000v2 -> Netgear r6700v3 -> Monoprice Flexboot Cat6 Ethernet cable -> lenovo gaming 3i laptop. I am currently on Firmware V1.0.4.1...

I am currently on Firmware V1.0.4.128_10.0.104 and I do not have any features like parent mode, guest network, or traffic meter on. I am paying for 1gb from Astound Broadband and am getting 920-940 wired to my modem. However when I am not wired to my modem and instead am wired to my router (NightHawk r6700v3) I am getting 170-200 mbps which is an insane difference. On wifi I am getting 120-140 on 5.0ghz and 40-60 on 2.4ghz. I am lost here, I had thought it was a ethernet cable issue but after testing the same ethernet cable on the modem and router I have realized it is not.
Any other ideas out there to fix this issue?
Thanks!
A couple of configuration items to check and test. Disable QoS and enable IPv6.
After you make and save changes to the router configuration, power the router completely down (pull the adapter cord). Wait a couple of minutes before your power it back up.
Would auto detect be fine for IPV6?

Yes as a first option. If no change, then pass through.
You may have to go with the default reset as previously recommended.
There was very minimum change so I hard reset my router and turned on pass through again. Even with this I am getting 410-450 mbps. I do not have Upstream or downstream QOS on, the only setting I have changed in my settings is the IPV6 which I enabled and put as Pass Through.

Please confirm specifically what you mean by "hard reset". A firmware default reset means you have to have the router power on and press and hold the recessed reset button on the backside for ten to fifteen seconds until the front indicators start to blink. Release the reset button and let the router boot. When this is completed, you have to reconfigure you router from scratch. This includes GUI passwords, SSID's, Wi-Fi passwords and etc.
The startup sequence of the devices is important. Power down your modem by disconnecting the adapter cord and disconnect the Ethernet cable to your modem. Power down your modem and disconnect the adapter cord.
Power up your modem and give it plenty of time to boot and stabilize. One of the last indicators to come on should be your internet. Since there is no Ethernet connected, the link indicator should be dark.

When you do your throughput testing, recommend your install and use the native operating system application from Ookla. This removes a web browser from the test.
