Nighthawk X6 R8000 not getting gigabit speeds

Hi so I recently got a nighthawk router because i was upgrading my internet to gigabit speeds and I wanted to get the best experience for it but i havent been able to get close to 1 gigabite speeds. When i check the internet speed on my modem 1.12 gigabites of internet is connecting to the modem but when i check the internet speed on the router (I am doing this through the nighthawk dashboard not speedtest.com so crappy hardware will not slow it down) I just get 400mps. I have hard resetted it multiple times, Bought a cat6 cable just incase it was the cable and I also read that downgrading the firmware could fix it so when i went to netgear support went to the right router downloaded a downgraded firmware it would not let me install it because it was not compatible so i figured netgear was not letting me downgrade it. I even turned off qos and traffic meter because i also read that in other forms. So i deceided to reach out myself for help because im just about to give up
