Netgear R7000 not getting 1Gig

I've seen this question asked quite a few time, but I have not found an answer that fixes the issue. I have 1Gig Fios internet. Cat-6 Directly from the ONT to my gaming PC I get 900+ Mbps. Once I go Cat-6 through the R7000 it drops down between 200-250Mbps. I've upgraded the firmware, factory reset the router, turned off all QOS, and every other possible option I have read online. Is this router not capable of pulling 1Gig or is there a real solution?

  • What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

    Only way I saw anything near 900mbs with my R7000 is factory reset and Qos, Access Controls, Circle, Armor and Traffic Meter all not enabled after the router was setup.
