I then took laptop into living room where modem and router is, cut off the wireless, and connect to router. Laptop wired got 4.5 MBs. I unplugged ethernet and turned on wireless then got 4.5. I tried again a few minutes later and got 120ish. Then took laptop and connected straight to modem, byassing router, and got 120 MBs. So I was thinking maybe bad ethernet cable. Tried new cable, from router and still only got 4.5. I took old cable and connected straight to modem and got 120ish. Long story short, I gave up, rewired everything as previous, returned to my desktop, and now desktop is getting 150MBs. So now laptop and desktop are both good. A little while later, desktop drops back to 4.5. I online game competitively, and the inconsistent jumping of bandwidth, ping, and packet loss makes me very unreliable as to should I lead target,trail target, or directly on target.
I tried QOS both enabled and not enabled. I am at wits end. I spent a lot of money to get a solid "Gaming Specific" router, pay for best ISP, and cannot utilize it. Is this a router issue? ISP issue? Combination of both? I am just so frustrated I don't know what to do to fix it.

Since you tried the present lan cable from the computer to the modem and 120mb and you about 4.5mb when connected too its lan ports is it possible the lan may be bad on the router? The internet(yellow) port has to be working if you have full speed by wifi either the lan ports have a problem or the firmware I would try update to the latest firmware and do the reset from the above posting to see if the issue clears.
If it does not you could have a router.

Re: R7000 - Bandwidth issues
Hi Wildfir3,
What is the firmware version of the router? Make sure to update it.
You can try to reset the router to factory default.
