I was having issues with my router yesterday and I did a factory reset. Now my LAN is capped at 100M. My WAN is at 1000M. I have the latest firmware and my PC is updated. I’m not sure if it is my PC or the router. Any help is much appreciated.
How did you reach that conclusion? LED color? Speed measurement? Other?
"capped" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
> [...] I have the latest firmware [...]
As always, an actual version number would be more useful than your opinion of what's "latest" today. And, on an R7000, its own opinion is worth very little.
Similarly uninformative, but any version of Windows should be about as good as any other in this neighborhood. What does Windows have to say about the Ethernet interface on that system?

Nor am I. A bad Ethernet cable could explain this kind of problem, too.
Blame assignment is Job One. Test/substitute things until you can determine the culprit.
For a quick cable test, connect each end to a LAN Ethernet port on your router, and observe the relevant port-status LED indicators. For a good cable, both port-status LEDs should indicate a maximum-speed connection. (And they should agree.) If a known-good cable does any less, then I'd suspect the router hardware.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for the LED descriptions.
