R6700 losing internet speed

When my Internet speed used to be 25Mbps, the download speed I get from R6700 router (wired & wireless) was average 28Mbps. Last week my ISP doubled my Internet speed to 55Mbps but I can only get avg download speed of 28Mbps from the R6700(wired connection). When I connected directly to modem, my download speed is 60Mbps. I also tried to use another old router and still get 60Mbps.

 

Any solution?

Disable QoS on the NG router while speed testing.

The modem is Motorola SB6121 and has no built-in router  I connected my TP-link router (450M) to the modem and my test speed increased to ISP's advertised speed. I don't think it's the modem's problem.

Make sure QoS is configured correctly for your ISP speeds as well. Looks like disabling it for speed testing works too. Enjoy.
