X4S Slow Speed when wired, Is my X4S Bad?

A few days ago, I started noticing that my internet speeds were slower than normal. I have ATT gigabit internet so when i say i started noticing, i mean, stuff was not super-fast anymore. Therefore, i did a speed test. I use ookla. I was getting 50mbps down, and 400up. However, the up would surge to 1200mbps. I did not think anything of it, i figured ATT network was bogged down by thanksgiving shopping. Today i notice again and do another speed test, and i get the exact same results. So I begin to troubleshoot. I revert to a known good firmware(current was 1.0.2.58, so i reverted to 1.0.2.32 and then 1.0.2.52), factory reset. No improvement. So i hook my computer straight to the ATT modem and i get 970mbps down and 990mbps up. At this point, I knew something on my end was the issue. So i turned off my Wi-Fi radios, unplugged everything except my pc, still 50mbps down and 400up. Both wifi and gigabit ethernet are the same download speed issue.
I now have no idea why, but it seems that my x4s is bad. Can anyone thing of something that could be causing this? I have had this router about a year and a half and have been raving about its reliability. This may be the shortest life I have ever gotten out of a router.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you disabled QoS?
There is a manual for the R7800 somewhere at the end of this link:

Re: X4S Slow Speed when wired, Is my X4S Bad?
Also, I’m not sure a manual may show me much. I am not a novice as my post count may indicate.
This router has been flawless since I got it. Gigabit download speeds through Ethernet, and maximum speed through WiFi when downloading.
All I typically configure is WiFi settings. Nothing else. After the factory reset I didn’t configure anything. And still I had slow speeds. I hope it’s just the processor is bogged down by an issue I’m not seeing.
