What device are you using to check your throughput? Laptop, desktop, phone, etc.?
How is it connected to your C6300v2, via Wi-Fi or via Ethernet?
What application are you using to check your throughput? Recommend the stand alone installable application from Ookla, it is available free in the play store for all devices.
Normally your device would be discussed in the cable modem community here:

I'm using a desktop to check. It is hardwired to modem/router. I used spectrum speed check to verify speed.

What operating system are you running on your desktop computer?
Have you checked to see if your drivers for the Ethernet port are up to date?
Make sure you have good quality Ethernet cable between your computer and your R6300v2.
For consistency, you need to install the Ookla stand alone application for throughput testing. It does not use a web browser to get in the way.

Difficult to decipher and I do not understand what you are trying to say. Complete sentences please.
Above statement is inconsistent with your statement about using a desktop computer hardwired to your router.
